Wandering by Jonny Tobin
"Wandering" is the followup to Jonny Tobin's 2022 release "Together", an optimistic musical journey that was well-received worldwide and filled to the brim with a funky, playful elasticity.
This album is a continuation of many of the same flavours found on that album. Warm chord progressions emanate through every track, combined with catchy, singable melodies, intricate basslines, and drum grooves that give a soulful thump to it all. The project lands within multiple genres, bounding effortlessly across 9 tracks that showcase Jonny's eclectic musical palate, in a manner which is arguably even broader than his previous efforts. Every track has been lovingly crafted to evoke nostalgia (that "where have I heard this before?" feeling) - while also carrying the listener forward into a new sonic dimension.
"Wandering" contains everything from abstract fusion, to lush mid-90s-inspired funk, downtempo soul-jazz Rhodes inflections, and an electronic shimmer that provides the icing on the cake.
Fans of synths, funk, and supremely good vibes will not want to miss this one!
