12" limited edition pressing of my album Boro.
Listen to clips of all eleven tracks at www.yarni.co
‘Boro’ is taken from the Japanese word for patchwork textiles, and the idea of patching things together is the foundation of the second concept album from music maker Yarni.
The release showcases Yarni’s ambition to keep moving forward musically, touching on diverse influences from jazz, funk, rock and electronica.
The album’s concept comes from Yarni’s first trip to Japan. The musician was fascinated by the way the Japanese hold onto their traditions and embrace super-futuristic ideas at the same time.
That combination of old and new flowed into the album’s creation. Yarni enrolled some local jazz musicians to contribute to the album’s live feel, while he played several traditional instruments himself. These sounds were blended with a futuristic synthesis to produce something that feels fresh and exciting in 2021.
This is a record that represents Yarni’s broad palette of inspirations. It’s an accessible listen, touching on many genres without ever going too far left-field. This isn’t an album to alienate listeners – it’s one to unite them.
Includes unlimited streaming of Boro
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I had never heard of Luke Una until 2022, when this fantastic compilation appeared on Mr Bongo.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
