Chicago alt-jazz polymath Sen Morimoto returns for their fourth LP Time Is On Your Side, out October 23rd on Sooper Records.

Sen is a Japanese-American multi-disciplinary artist and producer in the jazz, alt-pop and rap scenes from Chicago to Japan. Morimotos releases consistently hop from genre to genre, disparate influences bleeding together in dense arrangements and earnest lyricism.

The 9 tracks on Morimotos newest offering remain reliably unpredictable, fluttering from rootsy folk, to odd-meter funk and ambient jazz. The lush and careful arrangements mark a decided change in Sens approach that finds their cathartic songwriting and intimate vocals at center stage.

Lyrically, Time Is On Your Side takes on the anxiety of the doom-scroll era with reassuring patience. Im not fighting time anymore, Sen says, I treat it as an ingredient. Some of these songs only needed a pinch - a couple of improvised takes. Others sat, fermenting, for years until they became equal parts of my past and future. My hope is
