Gulls is back with an enthralling new EP that beckons listeners into an otherworldly realm. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, the cosmos, and the profound mysteries of life, this EP runs like a collection of lost dubs from a soundtrack that never was.

Showcasing a fusion of elements—cinematic soundscapes alive with sweeping sound design, heavy-weight percussion, and harmonized passages of live woodwinds and brass. It’s a direct transmission from the inner sanctum of the Boomarm dojo, pulsating with energy and creativity.

Originally composed in 2021 as part of a collaboration with Dr. Danielle Curry each track has undergone a meticulous transformation. In the early days of fall 2023, each piece was reworked and remixed, infusing them with new life and fresh perspective.

For over two decades, Gulls (AKA Boomarm Nation founder, Jesse Munro Johnson) has passionately dedicated themselves to the world of music as a collaborative artist, sound engineer, label owner, and producer. Consistently pushing forward to expand the boundaries of music and sound art as a means of connection and community building.

Boom Miami reviewed by Textura

Posted on by

Killer review from one of our favorite sites, Textura!

“Boom Miami, the second chapter in Gulls’ twelve-inch series, matches the high standard set by the late-2010 Mean Sound outing. The new release serves up three ravishing electro-dub workouts by Boom Nation founder Jesse Munro Johnson of Portland, Oregon supplemented by a contribution from guest remixer Mike M. (Reporter/PDX). The title cut rolls out a crisp dub-funk groove that’s irresistible enough all by its lonesome, but Johnson adds to its allure by topping it with a bleepy, slightly Eastern-tinged motif that amplifies its trippiness. With no compromise to its entrancing melodic character, the track also receives a second treatment that’s slightly richer in percussive flavour and overall atmosphere and carries a smattering of funky house in its step too.

 The BOOM MIAMI EP is the second installment in our Gulls 12” series. It features 3 original tracks further exploring the reaches of DUB SPACE, and SCI-FI POLY-RHYTHMICS. With Guest remix duties by MIKE M. (Reporter/PDX).

 The majority of these tracks were recorded live in one take. Using a 12 channel mixer, a sequencer, and an array of analog equipment. Creating bass rich structures that are deceptively simple, raw and evocative.
