Luna Li, the Korean-Canadian songwriter and producer behind this year's excellent Duality, has shared an EP of new material. Jams 2 features six new instrumental tracks, including collaborations with Amaria and Aaron Paris. It follows a similar EP, Jams, released in 2021. Luna Li will discuss the EP, as well as playing a selection of her biggest musical influences, when she appears on The FADER's Gen F show on Amp tomorrow (September 22).
"I wasn't sure what to expect releasing the first Jams EP - it felt unconventional to be releasing a collection of short looping instrumentals and it certainly wasn't like anything I'd ever released before," Luna Li said in a statement. "This time around, I'm glad to know that these jams have a home, somewhere to land. This second short collection also features Amaria and Aaron Paris, two artists and producers I admire a lot."
Jams 2 arrives as Luna Li prepares to open for Wolf Alice on their North American tour, kicking off on September 27 and Terminal 5 in New York. She'll follow that up with a newly announced headline tour and dates in Europe and the U.K. See below for more information.
