Available for the first time on vinyl, Brainfeeder release a wonderful new deluxe edition of Austin Peralta’s critically acclaimed 2011 album, ‘Endless Planets’. It was, and remains, a landmark album in the Brainfeeder catalogue, marking the label’s first foray into jazz.
Austin was an integral member of the Brainfeeder label family. Tragically he died on 21st November 2012 aged 22 years old. A truly prodigious talent on the piano, Austin effortlessly combined questing futurism with incredible musicianship and a healthy respect for the heritage of jazz.
The new edition features four previously unreleased tracks recorded at the legendary BBC Maida Vale Studios in London in 2011 (including a live version of ‘DMT Song’ from FlyLo’s album ‘Until The Quiet Comes’) with Austin leading an all-star band comprising Richard Spaven (drums), Tom Mason (bass), Jason Yarde (alto sax), Heidi Vogel (vocals), and Jason Swinscoe of The Cinematic Orchestra on ‘electronics’.
“A vast exploration of sound, Peralta shows you exactly who he is with this project. My hope is that you also love this album as I have throughout the years. Thank you Austin for ‘Endless Planets’.” - Thundercat
For fans of Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Miguel Atwood- Ferguson.
