Out 24.4.2026 on We Jazz Records.
Matt Gold and Dustin Laurenzi present Devotional Fade, a collaborative record of electroacoustic rhythmic improvisations – equal parts meditation and dance, released on We Jazz Records, 24th April. Laurenzi and Gold, key collaborators in the Chicago creative scene and with genre spanning artists such as Bill Callahan and Makaya McCraven, step forward here with a major artistic statement, a product of extended improv sessions capturing the duo’s hypnotic interplay. This is the sound of two of Chicago’s most vibrant instrumental voices listening deeply, communing in sound.
Recorded in Laurenzi’s attic studio, Devotional Fade emerged from a series of weekly sessions over the course of a single month. The duo kept the tape rolling continuously each day and selected a number of immersive sonic worlds to present, oscillating between patient, sacred minimalism and wild, dancefloor-worthy combustion.
The pair set two parameters to heighten the sessions’ stakes: editing would be kept to a minimum, and a rule of “no pitched overdubs” was put in place – ensuring that all melodic and harmonic gestures would have to be committed in real time. Laurenzi and Gold held true, only sparingly adding a stray shaker or brush to these already largely complete improvisations. Devotional Fade is imbued with quiet propulsion and ecstatic repetition.

Matt Gold is a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer based in Chicago, IL. His work pulls from diverse traditions of electric and acoustic music. Matt has performed across six continents and contributed to over fifty recordings as a collaborator and instrumentalist, garnering critical praise from Pitchfork for playing “one of the most exhilarating guitar solos of recent memory, in any genre.”
His own recordings have been praised for being “accessible, yet healthily unconstrained by genre and sure of its own identity” (UK Vibe) and for ”effortlessly embodying his own dialect—defined by varied, spacious soundscapes, innovative improvisational flourishes and rich harmony” (Downbeat Magazine). Gold’s debut solo release Imagined Sky (Whirlwind Recordings) displays his penchant for concise melody and an exploratory palette of abstracted Americana; Midnight Choir (Ruination Recording Co.) delves more explicitly into Gold’s deft songwriting and imaginative production. His collaborative LP with Resavoir, Horizon (International Anthem), further highlights his multi-instrumentalist and production instincts across the record’s orchestral palette.
Gold has several long-running collaborative bands spanning jazz, folk, experimental, and chamber music including Sun Speak, Storm Jameson, and Tin. He performs and records with an array of creative artists including Makaya McCraven, Marquis Hill, Jamila Woods, Natalie Merchant, and Greg Ward. Gold co-curates the record label and concert series Flood Music.
Dustin Laurenzi is a saxophonist, improviser and composer based in Chicago, IL. An active member of the city’s creative music community, he leads and co-leads several projects, including Twin Talk, Edith Judith, Snaketime, and Natural Language.
Laurenzi’s work as a collaborator and sideperson includes projects led by Macie Stewart, Matt Ulery, Katie Ernst, and Juan Pastor. As a recording artist, he has released several albums of his music, including A Better Ghost (2022) with Laurenzi/Cunningham/Bryan on Northern Spy Records, described by DownBeat as ”…a moodily poetic and genre-bending jewel…”. His long-running collaborative trio Twin Talk released their fourth studio album Twin Talk Live in 2024 on Shifting Paradigm Records.
Laurenzi is a member of songwriter Bill Callahan’s touring band and is featured on Callahan’s 2024 album Resuscitate!. He has also toured with Bon Iver, appearing on the band’s 2016 release 22, A Million, with performances at Coachella, Primavera Sound, and the Hollywood Bowl.

Pre-order: sunn O))) – sunn O))) (Loser Edition Oxblood Vinyl) 3.4.2026
Ennakkotilaus: 3.4.2026For nearly 30 years, SUNN O))) – Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson – have pushed the boundaries of heavy music, straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own. Now, SUNN O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019’s acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album – their debut for new label Sub Pop – demonstrates the duo’s mastery of time and space, light and dark, and their willingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms. The eponymously titled SUNN O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood (HuM, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair). This location would prove crucial to the recording process.
