BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Sep 29, 2016

Known best for manning the kit for Mac DeMarco and Walter TV, Los Angeles-band musician Joe McMurray is set to step out from behind his drums to helm a new electronic solo project.

Simply going under the name of ~j~, McMurray's first album of "sometimes lo-fi ambient" compositions comes in the form of Will2Change, released through Leaving Records. Clocking in at 24 minutes and 42 seconds, the six-track release saw the drummer write using "his iPad, laptop, and whatever other gear may be laying around."

Digital copies of the release are available through Bandcamp along with cassettes, which include a refractive rainbow sleeve and a decal. They can be found here. Read through the tracklist and stream Will2Change in the player below.
