The second taste of Matthew Bourne’s new album Irrealis is out today. Listen to ‘Asaf’ here.

“’Asaf’ is gifted to musician Asaf Sirkis,” Bourne explains. “Along with Shri Siram and Dušan Petrović, we played together at the Garana Jazz Festival in August 2020. I’m sure most of us can remember exactly what we were doing around that time, and there was a sense of the intrepid, or an auspicious quality to the whole exercise of making this meeting happen, and its imprint was considerable.”

In anticipation of the release of Irrealis, Bourne has shared a playlist of prepared piano inspirations to whet your appetite.

Irrealis will be released May 27th worldwide digitally, and physically in the UK and Europe. The physical release for the rest of the world is July 29th. Pre-order the strictly limited black vinyl LP now – just 750 copies for the world.
