Tom Misch - Quarantine Sessions
Quarantine Sessions is a reflective and intimate release from Tom Misch, recorded during the global lockdown period and released in 2020. Stripped back and personal, the album captures Misch in a more relaxed, improvisational setting, blending elements of jazz, soul, funk, and laid-back hip hop with a strong sense of warmth and spontaneity.
The record features a series of loose, groove-led tracks and sketches, many of which originated as live jams shared online during lockdown. Gentle guitar lines, smooth bass, subtle beats, and mellow keys form the backbone of the album, allowing Misch’s musicianship and feel for melody to take centre stage. The atmosphere is casual and unpolished, giving the music an inviting, human quality.
Quarantine Sessions is less about polished songwriting and more about mood, connection, and creative flow. The production embraces imperfections, capturing the feeling of music made in isolation but shared openly with listeners around the world.
This release offers a fascinating snapshot of Tom Misch’s creative process, highlighting his versatility and natural groove. Calm, soulful, and unhurried, Quarantine Sessions is an engaging and soothing listen that reflects a unique moment in time.
