Overnight Lows

LP · 20 tracks · mellow night jazz · title track: "Overnight Lows"

It's 2 a.m. and the cable box glows in the dark. Overnight Lows is twenty cuts of the smooth jazz that once drifted under the Local Forecast — Rhodes piano, brushed drums, and a muted trumpet somewhere past the county line. Comfort music for insomniacs, storm-watchers, and anyone who misses the sound of the weather at night.

Smooth jazz for stormy nights.

Fair and Warmer

LP · 20 tracks · bright day jazz · title track: "Fair and Warmer"

Sun's up, dew's burning off, and the extended outlook looks fine. Fair and Warmer is the daytime side of the channel — bright Rhodes, breezy sax, and an easy uptempo groove from first light to golden afternoon. Twenty cuts to open the blinds to.

Daytime smooth jazz — partly cloudy, with a chance of groove.

The Corner Booth

LP · 14 tracks · café jazz, funk & late-night grooves · title track: "The Corner Booth"

Pull up to the corner booth. The Corner Booth is the coffee-shop side of Retro Weather Rewind — café lounge and jazz-funk through the morning rush, easing into sax ballads, blues, and a floating nocturne by last call. Fourteen tracks modeled on the lo-fi weather-channel jazz that scored a thousand slow afternoons.

From the morning rush to last call.

Weathervision

LP · 16 tracks · vaporwave · title track: "Weathervision"

Somewhere between the mall and the emergency broadcast, the signal drifts. Weathervision reimagines the retro weather channel as vaporwave — signalwave sign-ons, mallsoft haze, and a few future-funk cuts for when the channel surfs itself. Sixteen tracks of warm analog synths and VHS static from a broadcast day that never ends.

The forecast, slowed and screwed.

Severe & Smooth

EP · 10 tracks · moody storm jazz · title track: "Severe and Smooth"

When the watch box goes up, the music gets moody. Severe & Smooth is the after-dark weather jazz for gathering fronts and midnight radar — minor keys, walking bass, and a slow build toward the eye of the storm. Ten tracks of tension and release for the nights the map turns red.

The forecast turns moody.
