Kranky

Kranky is an American record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Established in 1993 by Bruce Adams and Joel Leoschke, Kranky has been a prominent force in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on the alternative and experimental genres, Kranky has released numerous groundbreaking albums over the years.

Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music production, *Kranky* has become synonymous with quality and creativity. The label's publishing credits typically go to Kranky, Ltd., further solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

With a catalog spanning from the 1990s to the 2000s, *Kranky* has consistently showcased talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their commitment to supporting independent musicians sets them apart from other labels, making them a go-to destination for fans of cutting-edge music.

Michigan trumpeter Justin Walter’s solo work centers on evocative, intuitive explorations of the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument), a rare wind-controlled analog synthesizer from the 1970’s. Its unique, smeared tonality allows for an expressive range of glassy, jazz-like textures, which Walter loops and layers with hushed electronics and twilit trumpet, painting opaque landscapes of resonant beauty. Walter’s 2013 debut, Lullabies and Nightmares, included a handful of collaborations with percussionist Quin Kirchner but Unseen Forces finds him fully solo, refining the project to its essence: shape-shifting watercolours of pastel haze, lit by the soft synthetic glow of electric breath. It’s a sound both modern and timeless, fusing emotion and technology, gauze and melody, force and fragility.
