- Holly Herndon features on this debut LP from the Indiana footwork producer.
Planet Mu will release Dark Energy, Jlin's debut full-length album, on March 26th.
The Gary, Indiana-based producer first appeared on Planet Mu's Bangs and Work Vol. 2 in 2011, contributing two singles—"Erotic Heat" and "Asylum"—to the compilation. She will return to the label in March with an 11-track album, which is the latest in a series of footwork LPs that includes RP Boo, Traxman and Young Smoke. Dark Energy also features RVNG experimentalist Holly Herndon, who contributed to the track "Expand," which you can listen to below.
"This album took my entire life to make," Jlin says. "Every moment in my life lead up to this album. My musical sense of expression comes from sadness, and anger. I can't create from a happy place. It seems pointless in my opinion."
