Makaya McCraven has released “Dream Another,” the second track from his forthcoming album, In These Times, out September 23. The track, which McCraven wrote and recorded in his home studio in Chicago, features Brandee Younger on harp, Junius Paul on bass, Matt Gold on guitar/sitar, and De’Sean Jones on flute. An accompanying music visualizer, directed by Nik Arthur, features hand-drawn, digital, and photographic animations composed and laser-etched into stone in the style of a “zoopraxiscope,” a nineteenth-century animation device, predating the motion picture, that allowed images to move for the first time. You can watch it here.

In These Times is a new collection of compositions from McCraven, who has been heralded by the New York Times, NPR, the Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and WBGO for his unique gift of collapsing space, destroying borders, and blending past, present, and future into progressive arrangements of post-genre, jazz-rooted contemporary instrumental music. Of “Seventh String,” the album’s debut single, Stereogum writes: “You can hear that polytemporal approach as McCraven trying to let opposing thoughts and ideas sit together in unison … Far from chaos, it becomes the sound of embracing complications and oppositions, and locating a harmony in the center of it all.”
McCraven is performing across Europe and North America this summer and fall. WBGO said of his recent appearance at Montreal Jazzfest that McCraven “showcased the many sides of his music, from hip-hop to the avant-garde. Whatever you call it, it’s music you can dance to, and definitely connects with the audience.” Two upcoming headlining shows—Central Park SummerStage in New York City on July 31 and the inaugural show at a new Chicago venue, The Salt Shed, on August 2—see McCraven, Sons of Kemet, and Nubya Garcia once again sharing a headline bill, on much larger stages. You can see McCraven’s North American tour schedule below.
