Basement Jaxx present Zephyr, available as a download from Monday 7th December to coincide with their nationwide tour. The album will also be available to purchase at the shows. Available to download
here from Monday 7th December.

Zephyr is described by Basement Jaxx as “a Soundscape”. The original idea for the recent album “Scars” was to make a double album - one CD of the ambient, ethereal & mellow side of the Jaxx output and the other comprised of their more traditional floor fillers. In the end, the band decided to release “Scars” as a stand alone album but wanted the “soundscape” to be available shortly after.

The tracks on “Zephyr” were recorded over a two year period in Berlin, New York, London and Bath and feature guest appearances from legendary Ethiopian musician, Mulatu Astatke, and New York jazz vocalist Jose James.

Basement Jaxx have added a second night in Dublin to their December tour so if you’re looking for a Christmas blow out in Europe’s premier party city then the Olympia Theatre on December 8th & 9th is the place to be.

Yoko Ono’s inspired collaboration with Basement Jaxx, “Day Of The Sunflowers”, has caught the ear of those good people at possibly the coolest radio station in the US, KCRW, where the song will be “Tune Of The Day” and available as a FREE download all day on 25th November.

We March On….

Basement Jaxx will be joining The Killers, Busta Rhymes & Armand Van Helden for the “Good Vibrations” festival in Australia in February 2010.

In a recent interview for our 5-10-15-20 series, Basement Jaxx's Simon Ratcliffe told us about a new EP he was working on with Jaxx conspirator Felix Buxton. "It's music to listen to at home and just kind of close your eyes to," he said of the uncharacteristically downbeat release. And now you can check out the self-described "soundscape," called Zephyr, after the jump. (via Stereogum.) The Jaxx's label says Zephyr will see official release before the end of the year.

Check out Simon & Felix previewing their forthcoming soundscape, titled “Zephyr”, on Radio 1 last week.
