Listen to it now...New York is a subterranean city.
Shebeens, venues, clubs linger large in the consciousness, with the city's underworld occurring and recurring in the popular imagination.
*JM Airis* locates his recording studio Terminal NY under the streets. Working underground, the songwriter is able to lock himself away from the world and focus on his craft.
New album 'Wild Birds' will be released on May 25th, a startling collection of folk-noir hymns inspired the world which lingers above.
“New York City is the Rome of the American empire and for what it’s worth I’m here to document it through song,” Airis explains. “It’s exploration of a lot of the common threads of humanity that I think we can all relate to... but there's no message here, only art.”
