Rolling Stone Names Jlin’s Autobiography one of the year’s 10 best avant albums
Rolling Stone has named Jlin’s Autobiography—the producer’s kinetic and considered score for a production of the same name by choreographer Wayne McGregor—as one of the year’s 10 best avant albums. “Jlin explores a dripping, hard-panning, evocative ambient music made of bamboo clanks, tubular bells, ticking clocks, birds, bugs and splashing water,” Christopher Weingarten writes. “And the aggressive footwork bangers are still boundary-pushing, heaving with robotic body music, grinding with noise and using samples from a Samuel Beckett monologue.” See her at Big Ears 2019.
