John Carroll Kirby
John Carroll Kirby is an artist based in Los Angeles. Though Kirby's background is steeped in jazz, his signature sound blends genres and styles. An in-demand collaborator and producer for artists ranging from superstars Solange, Frank Ocean and Harry Styles to beloved indie musicians Connan Mockasin and Liv.e, and many more, Kirby has lately focused on his own prolific solo output, releasing five LPs on Stones Throw Records in a little over two years.
My Garden (2020), a blend of jazz and exotica, was praised by Pitchfork, The Fader, LA Times, Q, and Mojo. The same year, Kirby released Conflict, a calming piano album in response to the year’s chaos. Kirby’s 2021 jazz-fusion release Septet marked a return to ensemble playing, while Dance Ancestral (2022) with additional production from Canadian artist YuSu, saw him take a more electronic-forward approach. In March 2023, Stones Throw released Sundown, Kirby's album-length collaboration with R&B singer Eddie Chacon.
Miho Hatori
Miho Hatori is an artist, producer, vocalist, and improviser, formerly of the legendary NYC group Cibo Matto.
She has other projects under the names New Optimism, Miss Information, Salon Mondialité (inspired by Édouard Glissant), and Smokey & Miho (inspired by Brazilian music). She also contributed to the first Gorillaz album and songs with the Beastie Boys.
She makes visuals, videos, and does art performances with music and sounds. She has performed at the Kitchen NYC, AGO museum, The Broad, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, and Pioneer Works. Additionally, she composes for soundtracks, films, commercials, company IDs, and sound design (New Balance, Softbank, Aesop, etc.).
Miho is originally from Tokyo but lives and works in NYC. Her latest solo album, Between Isekai and Slice of Life, was released in 2021.
