JDub is proud to welcome The Wailing Wall to our roster! We know everyone loves free music and discovering new artists, so we are releasing his debut LP Hospital Blossom for FREE on June, 9th.

The Wailing Wall is 23 year old multi-instrumentalist and ex-theology major Jesse Rifkin. Born in Los Angeles, Jesse was raised in Annapolis, MD and now resides in New York City. Hospital Blossoms is The Wailing Wall’s first full length LP, and his first release for JDub Records.

The Wailing Wall is a solo project that fluctuates between 1 and 38 members, sometimes including K Records’ Jason Anderson

, So So Glos’ Matt Elkin and Thanksgiving’s Adrian Orange. Jesse likes to invite any and all musicians and curious onlookers within earshot to join him in the studio or on stage. The Wailing Wall’s DIY community creates a certain vibrancy that stems from Jesse’s belief that a band’s spirit only burns as brightly as the sum of its parts.

Hospital Blossoms is a narrative about the search for spiritual meaning and fulfillment.  It  contains a patchwork of simultaneously scratchy and lovely sounds: banjo, fretless bass, glockenspiel, gamelan, grand piano, viola, harmonium, girls laughing, trumpet, drums, shakers, hand-clapping and knee-slapping. Jesse recorded the album across 3 states and on a variety of recording machines with different fidelities. The very first sounds heard on the album are lifted from a field recording of a thunderstorm outside a boathouse in Stone Lake, Wisconsin—a location Jesse sought out to record the majority of Hospital Blossoms. Jesse and friends pieced together the rest of the record between a workshop theatre, a dingy basement and a Colonial mansion converted into a college music building.

We don’t want commerce to get in the way of you hearing a record this good, so we’re giving it away for FREE. Listen to Hospital Blossoms, pass it along to your friends, and be on the lookout for more great things from Jesse Rifkin and The Wailing Wall.
