Union (EP) by Jordan Munson
Union (EP) is a collection of four tracks from a larger recording project entitled Heartless Fools, exploring multiplicity and often contradictory ideas. Supported by a Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, many of the works were realized and recorded in January 2018 at Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavík, Iceland. Since these initial recordings, the music has grown through far-reaching collaborations with a wide range of musicians.
The 4 tracks on Union represent a character fueled by an imagined loss of cultural identity, full of a rage that causes them to do inhumane things. This shows up in the music as a struggle between order and chaos, often times aggressive and visceral.
