Toward the end of this coming January, the Fridman Gallery in Manhattan will be releasing *Freedom* by artist Yvette Janine Jackson. The record is up for pre-release right now, with two of its tracks streaming at [fridmangallery.bandcamp.com](https://fridmangallery.bandcamp.com/album/freedom). One cut, available as an excerpt, “Invisible People,” is all hellfire and brimstone, part excoriating exorcism, part calculated recitation of Jonathan Edwards sermonizing (heard here in usefully creepy text-to-speech), all playing out in an atmosphere of dissolute, slow-motion chamber music. Especially engaging is the album’s opening track, “Destination Freedom,” also an excerpt (each around three minutes in length), which is even more atmospheric: piano keys with near-oceanic depth, ghostly string sections, horns buried in the fog. The album is due out January 22, 2021.
