"The beauty of Jihas work lies in the spaces she leaves" - The Guardian

The highly acclaimed Korean multi-instrumentalist and composer Park Jiha, returns with a luminous third album. A deep meditation on the intersection of music and light, The Gleam further extends Jiha's reputation for uncompromising sonic explorations. Pop Matters called her musical art "a near flawless fusion of folk tradition and new composition."

How often do we consider light? We revel in the soft wonder of a sunrise or the majesty of a glorious sunset, but all through the day its quality and texture is continually changing, second by second, in ways we rarely register. That beauty is the inspiration for The Gleam.

April 2022

The eight instrumental tracks are presented as an impressionistic journey from night into day and back again, as we awake to the sparse and haunting tone signal of ‘At Dawn’, peak with the sparkling rhythms of ‘A Day In…’ and then drift into a sleep of dreams with ‘Temporary Inertia’. The result is serene, luminous and utterly gorgeous.
