A lifetime in the making, Jill Fraser's Earthly Pleasures is out today! Her new solo LP of electronic compositions is the culmination of more than 40 years of pioneering modular work across television, games, film and performance. For this momentous occasion, a mesmeric new music video arrives today for Jill's single "Beautiful Summer".

"Beautiful Summer" is a track glowing with the aura of new life, a regenerative piece decorated with chimes and bells that hits the heavens in a little over seven minutes — so it's fitting that Jenny Nirgends' music video strobes through time itself to get the point across! Here, Jill's childhood photos flicker in and out of photography from Priscilla Mars, whose colors bleed right off the screen. Enough that you just might hear 'em! Sit back and think DEEP while you watch.

Earthly Pleasures is a modular resetting of American revival-style hymns of the late 19th/early 20th century, capturing Jill's ever-evolving curiosity about music as both a science and an aesthetic, spiritual force to be reckoned with. Exploring the music as language and code using her 1978 Serge Paperface and newer modules like the Ableton Push 3, Jill is not simply making expressive and personal music. While her new work speculates upon death and what comes after it, it also considers how the things we derive meaning from today will look and sound like when encountered by the diverse and unknowable seekers and technologies of the future.

Jill Fraser will open for Caterina Barbieri on September 28 for a Reflections event in Los Angeles, followed by a show with Andy Stott on November 8 at Brooklyn's Durations Festival; tickets are on sale now.
