LIGHTWEIGHT HEAVY

Lightweight Heavy, Fat Jons third solo offering, is a concoction of loping beats, dub bass lines, classical piano, breathy vocals and sparkling harmonies... (BBC). From the gentle piano-led intro of Talk to Me and threading through the albums 14 dazzling tracks, Fat Jons subtle use of vocals and his bass-heavy beats take listeners on a heartfelt journey. I lived in Japan while I made this record and produced the whole album there. Being able to make a project like this from beginning to end the way I had envisioned it was a dream come true, Jon reflects. I recorded and produced the whole album in my friend Nujabes studio. I told him about my concept for the album, and he said I could use his studio while I was there. We had similar studio setups so it was a very easy transition and fun experience. We are very pleased to announce that Lightweight Heavy is getting its first vinyl reissue via YHS Records, a vinyl-focused imprint of Detroit label Young Heavy Souls.
