WIRE - SERENO JAM [2025]

[SILK 156] René Najera - Inner Arrangements ——— Extended play companion to René Najera’s recent Painted Life LP, cut from similar cloth but dyed a different shade of sky. From deep current downtempo and strings-of-life steppers to cloud-watcher breaks and tape-hazed disco, the collection captures Jared Carrigan’s project at its most elusive and elliptical. Music of mirrored streets and eroded coasts, flexing free and lean under sinking suns. Tokyo affiliate Precipitation lends a mix to “Conscious Living,” while Estonian ex-pat Maria Minerva played party host for the 18-minute hardware odyssey “Live At Maria’s,” but otherwise Inner Arrangements is a solo side quest, soaring and sidewinding through star maps of the mind. ——— 100% SILK @rudimentary_pen PHOTO @nikita.sfnv MASTERING @ryan_wicks

Komodo Production is proud to announce its first documentary film project – Diesel Heart. Sharing our first teaser here! In March 2025, we traveled to Bangkok for a month to explore Thailand’s underground drag racing and vehicle modification culture. Rather than focusing on mechanical specifications or performance stats, our attention was drawn to the people behind the movement – their lifestyles, personal histories and shared wisdom. With the support of the local team, we tried to manage the never ending chaos around us into a strong visual journey and a valuable cultural imprint. Since filming wrapped, we’ve spent nine months developing and refining the material into a cohesive body of work. In 2026, Diesel Heart will be released as a multi-format project, including: - one-hour documentary film - physical photobook - original soundtrack album released via Jungle Gym Records @junglegymrecs This project is a tribute to identity and the true essence of life.

Coldspring presents 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈, the eponymous debut of LA-based duo Maya Lydia Bushell & Jared Carrigan. Recorded in five different locations across the eastern half of LA County, the 11-track album pairs the spare vocal arrangements of traditional English ballads with the roomy guitar of ambient Americana, giving space to lush atmosphere and narrative environment that guide us through the intimacy and awe of vivid landscapes, voices cradled in our ear. The drama and heartbreak of the American West/ern are reborn into a universe of 40-day months where the call of a loon cuts through the silence to remind us that our solitude is never total—our love far from an impossibility. Written, Performed & Recorded by @mayalydia & @pleasant__view Mastered by @jason_r_simon Photos/Floral Arrangements by @aamberlu Design by @junglegymrecs

[SILK155] René Najera - Painted Life - LP OUT NOW via 100% SILK STREAMING EVERYWHERE - Minnesota-born, L.A.-based musician, mastering engineer, and co-founder of the Jungle Gym label Jared Carrigan records solo and in collaboration under a web of guises: V. Kristoff, Congo River Club House, Freaks of Nature, Easy Rider, Lac Seul, Las Cuevas, M.M.C.J., Scout Island, Twin Lakes. Of these, René Najera is his longest running and most liquid. One decade since the project’s 2015 debut (as Jungle Gym’s inaugural release, JG01), he presents his first vinyl full-length. Painted Life took shape from the seeds of a 2023 set prepared for a string of shows in Japan. Elements were later remixed, finessed, and expanded by a cast of inner circle collaborators: Leech, Tile Plazas, Precipitation, Maria Minerva. Carrigan calls the album a “memory book” – each track a snapshot of cities and sessions, filtered through a fusion of club smoke, mood house, psychic acid, and sunrise electronica. It’s music of movement and discovery, celebratory and semi-improvised, chasing the pure essence of fleeting moments. “Simple or grand, it’s all worth capturing.” - Infinite thanks to all collaborators… @rudimentary_pen @mariaminervvva @tileplazas @askyourpillow *Precipitation ♾️
