Momoko Gill

alternativeélectroJAZZ

trut proudly presents the debut album from producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Momoko Gill. Fresh from her critically acclaimed collaboration Clay recorded with cult electronic artist Matthew Herbert, Momoko steps forward in her own right for the first time with her remarkable debut solo album with pulsating lead singles ‘No Others’ and the electric ‘When Palestine Is Free’, announcing her debut solo album releasing in February 2026.

Momoko has long been one of the UK electronic and jazz scene’s best-kept secrets. A self-taught drummer, producer, songwriter, and vocalist, she has brought her unique touch to collaborations with Alabaster DePlume, Matthew Herbert, Coby Sey, Tirzah, and Nadeem Din-Gabisi (her musical foil in An Alien Called Harmony). Extensive touring behind the drum kit, at the keys and in front of the mic have honed her compositional and production instincts.

With Momoko, Gill emerges into the spotlight with an album that is entirely her own. Throughout, you can hear the stylistic flavours of jazz musicians as much as singer-songwriters, experimental artists and electronic producers. Gill rejects imitation, sculpting her sound through feel and expression rather than tradition. Based in London and having grown up in Japan and the US, Gill channels her breadth of perspective through her musical ideas and storytelling, with a unique voice developed through instinct, collaboration and solitary study.

The album’s eleven tracks take in a wide spectrum with the jazz-infused groove of ‘No Others’ and harmony-drenched, reflective ‘Heavy’ contrasting with the dark, confrontational sound of ‘Shadowboxing’ leading into an eerie left-field instrumental beat, ‘Test A Small Area’ and the impressive 50-person choir on ‘When Palestine Is Free’ (which includes heavyweights Shabaka Hutchings, Soweto Kinch, Alabaster DePlume, Coby Sey, Marysia Osu and more). It is a deeply personal and poetic recording and showcases the full uncompromising range of Momoko’s vision, presented in her own voice.

Condore

Condore est un univers à part, une traversée intime entre ombre et lumière, une musique cinématographique, introspective et hantée, où la beauté flirte avec le bizarre.

Portée par une voix fragile et envoûtante, réfractée à l’infini dans des harmonies vocales flottantes qui donnent à chaque morceau une profondeur spectrale, la musique de Condore convoque les esprits de Patrick Watson, Agnès Obel, ou encore Aurora, entre piano éthéré, arrangements organiques et mélodies suspendues.

Mais derrière la douceur apparente se cache un monde plus trouble, un théâtre intérieur aux allures de conte étrange. On y croise des fantômes d’enfance, des écorchures sous la peau, des créatures familières et inquiétantes, et une personnalité féminine aussi sensible que saturée de rage et de passion.

Entre berceuse et cri sourd, Condore, qui ouvre un dialogue intime avec celles et ceux qui sauront entendre l’essentiel qui se dissimule entre les silences.
