The album title "A Jazz Blessing For The Animal" seems fitting for Weyes Blood's bandmate Jacob Brunner's music, which is both unique and enchanting. Brunner's sound is likened to a fusion of Terrance McKenna and Gregorian chant, with a touch of folk swagger. Their lead single, "Dream Of Water," was released last month, and now the duo is sharing the intriguing track "What Plant Jumps Over Me?"
Brunner explains that the song is a "binary-form inquiry into the bipolar spectrum," with verses that flow like breathless, stream-of-consciousness thoughts.

"A Jazz Blessing For The Animal" is set to be released on September 18th via Otherly Love. This week's most impactful music stories and the week's least significant music memes are also included in the release.
