Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, has released his ninth studio album, Asterisms, on February 16, 2024. The album, which is his first solo project in a decade, is a collection of instrumental songs that blend jazz, rock, and electronic elements. The album is inspired by Lennon\u2019s life, his mother\u2019s health, and the pandemic that disrupted the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lennon composed the album for a week-long residency at the Stone, a New York venue run by avant-garde composer John Zorn, who also produced the album and released it on his Tzadik label. Lennon collaborated with a group of talented musicians, including drummer Ches Smith, bassist\/guitarist Devin Hoff, keyboardists Yuka Honda and Joao Nogueira, guitarist Julian Lage, trumpeter Michael Leonhart, and percussionist Mauro Refosco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The album consists of five tracks, each with a different mood and style. The opening track, \u201cStarwater\u201d, is a spacey and psychedelic tune that features Lennon\u2019s guitar and Leonhart\u2019s trumpet. The second track, \u201cThinking of M\u201d, is a tender and melodic song that pays tribute to Lennon\u2019s mother, who is in her late eighties and has been living with him during the pandemic. The third track, \u201cAcidalia\u201d, is a groovy and funky song that showcases Lennon\u2019s keyboard and Hoff\u2019s bass. The fourth track, \u201cAsterisms\u201d, is a serene and ambient song that reflects Lennon\u2019s contemplation of the stars and the shapes they form. The final track, \u201cThe Last Day of Summer\u201d, is a nostalgic and melancholic song that captures Lennon\u2019s longing for the past and the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lennon told Rolling Stone that the album\u2019s title, Asterisms, is a term used to describe shapes in the sky, such as the Big Dipper or Orion\u2019s Belt. He said that he was influenced by his mother\u2019s interest in astrology, which he initially rejected but later embraced. He also said that he was feeling very pensive and introspective during the pandemic, and that he wanted to express his emotions through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lennon\u2019s Asterisms is a unique and captivating album that showcases his versatility, creativity, and musicality. The album is a cosmic journey through music that invites the listener to explore Lennon\u2019s mind and soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
