Jherek Bischoff is a songwriter, producer, performer and composer from the Pacific Northwest who has been called a “pop polymath” (The New York Times) and a “Seattle phenom” (The New Yorker). We’re trying not to get too braggy over here, but we are proud to be releasing this music!

Composed is a meticulously arranged, multi-tracked orchestral pop album featuring a host of famous guests, many of whom appeared at the sold-out Ecstatic Music Festival performance in New York that launched the project in early 2012. David Byrne collaborates on “Eyes,” a piece of meta-pop as great as anything he’s produced in the past decade. Brazilian Tropicalismo legend Caetano Veloso guests on “The Secret Of The Machines” with an avant-percussion solo by Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier. Parenthetical Girls’ Zac Pennington and French singer/actor Soko duet on “Young & Lovely.” Et. cetera. Despite the impressive cast of characters, Jherek manages to make the album his own, without ever falling into the trap of self-indulgence that often besets multi-vocalist projects. The album is a consistently rewarding and uplifting body of work — a testament to his clarity of vision.
