{"title":"The Weather Inside","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weather Inside is the project of Oklahoma singer, songwriter and producer Jesse Cohen. Formed in the mid 2000s, it pairs 1980s synth melodies and electronic beats with ambient soundscapes and layered polyrhythms, later grounded by folk instruments played live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCohen was 24 when he made the debut album \u003cem\u003eColourful Year\u003c\/em\u003e. A small advance paid for a faster computer, a good microphone and an audio interface. He recorded between October 2003 and August 2006 in a loft apartment in the Paseo Arts District, his Mum's house in Bethany, and at Soma Sound, Audyssey and Auxillary Drain Studios in Oklahoma City. The album features his own glitch editing and string arrangements, guest vocals from Bebe K, and a collaboration with Kmotiv.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe then built a live band with close friends, and they became part of Oklahoma's indie scene, playing Norman, Stillwater and the Paseo Arts District alongside The Ugly Suit and Kunek, who later became Other Lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eColourful Year\u003c\/em\u003e came out on November 6, 2006. Kenny Herzog, then editor of CMJ New Music Monthly and later a writer for Rolling Stone, heard the demos and gave the band a full page feature. That earned them an invitation to the CMJ Music Marathon in the autumn of 2007, where they played a packed showcase at Kenny's Castaways in Greenwich Village.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2009 Cohen moved to New York City with less than $2,000 to his name. He spent the next twelve years producing records, busking in the subway and playing The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall and rooms across Brooklyn and Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor its 20th anniversary, Re:Mission Entertainment reissues \u003cem\u003eColourful Year\u003c\/em\u003e, remastered by Jeff Mortimer at JM Mastering, UK. The reissue includes new liner notes from Jesse and a full colour disc, limited to 100 copies in a Digipak.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-weather-inside-colourful-year-limited-edition-digipak","title":"The Weather Inside 'Colourful Year (20th Anniversary Edition)' Limited Edition Digipak","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-order.\u003c\/strong\u003e Release date November 24, 2026.

Colourful Year was conceived in isolation, a sonic cartography of the interior landscape of one specific time and place. Heard now, these songs are artifacts of a former life, intimate and resolutely solitary. I never imagined these archival works would emerge from obsolescence, let alone find a second existence through Re:Mission Entertainment, and I’m very glad they have. This definitive edition is a monument to where they began, restored alongside the disparate fragments that belonged to the story all along. I am indebted to Wes for his stewardship of this record, and grateful to you, the listener, for spending time in these spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Jesse Cohen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
