Flux

✁ Three things about Rhode Island: it is the smallest U.S. state by far, has an amazing freak-out scene for its size and it is also home to Judge Frank Caprio (the TV traffic court judge who'll let you off if you've got a kid in tow). There's also Jordan Root, aka Snap Dragon. His album for Complex Holiday, "Flux", is a fluid and beautifully put together collection of joyful, maximalist tones; a bouncy castle in a forest in the shape of a great big modular synth. ✃ "These pieces are all built off of improvised sessions with modular synths recorded throughout 2020. In a year of upheaval, I started creating music that mirrored the fractured feeling of time, both constantly changing but also stuck in place. I aimed to balance static repetition with endless movement, to find peace in perpetual change and joy in fluidity and growth." - Jordan Root
