Jack Erin Brown- Door 154

Jack Erin Brown’s Door 154—a joint release from Nudie Records and Tunnel Records—is an instrumental trek that glides between hip-hop breaks, krautrock pulses, jazz flourishes, and the eerie nostalgia of library music. Built from years of obsessive listening and crate-digging, the album, largely self-played and home-recorded with sessions at Oakland’s Santo Studios, is less a collection of tracks than a portal—one that leads somewhere between chaos and clarity, dissonance and groove, the past and whatever comes next.
