Sub Pop proudly presents The Soundtrack Collection, the latest musical venture by Jon Benjamin, thevisionary who brought you 2015s jazz piano masterpiece Well I Should Have Learned How to Play Piano(and who also has a side hustle voicing the titular roles of Bob and Archer in the TV shows Bobs Burgersand Archer). Well I Should Have got high praise from the tastemakers of our times, NPRs All Things
Considered and a bunch of people on YouTube. The limited vinyl pressing sold out immediately, garneringoutrageous prices on the collectors market until a new (even cooler and more importantly still available!)limited edition red, white and blue pressing appeared in July, 2020. The Soundtrack Collection finds Jonstriding boldly into the rarefied worlds of classic film music, and the Moog synthesizer.

Well let the maestro himself elaborate: WHY ANOTHER ALBUM? The question must be screaming in yourmind. In 2015, I started my jazz journey. Even I thought it would end, but the spirits of sound, they keeppulling at me. At times, Ive danced with the demons of malaise and grappled with the warlocks ofuncertainty. This collection represents a rebirth/afterbirth. A reforming of what I have done and what has
been done before me. A voyage into a more futuristic soundscape, like a drunk (very drunk), crazedcosmonauts first spacewalk. A burnt offering to the Gods of Providence Gods that take from usmercilessly the corpuscular light of what we give, fractured through our prism of inability. My work may bean affront, but is our collective affront. My sins are unwavering but my jazz is my confession; each note a
cleansing; the sound of the squeezing of an overripe peach and the juice putrid. These songs, like spumesof spite, are sufferings, profane grumbles, and they weave their thread into your soul like falcons talonsinto the belly of a bunny. Every compression is an impression (not sure what this means) but I think Im
talking about compressing the keys on the keyboard. But in them all are sharts of hope. I crashexpectations. I throw poo in the face of my oppressors. I scream like a baby bird to the legions. I, by myown hand, mock the clouds for forming, cry ecstatic till temples crumble. I, by my own hands, shake theworld. I am, like William Morris once wrote, the haystack in the floods.’ I am, for all time, the JazzDaredevil. Jon Benjamin Jazz Daredevil
