Notes

From Bandcamp page:

"The long awaited and highly anticipated album has finally arrived - our Persona 5 Jazz tribute, "METAGROOVE"! Nearly 3 years ago, we set out on a journey to not only explore the music of Persona 5, but bring out the true potential of this music. The world of Persona 5 challenges its characters to dig into the deepest parts of themselves and face their fears, and from this place comes the most powerful manifestations of their souls. This is no different from what it means to play jazz - and we took this concept to expound further on the brilliant ideas that composer Shoji Meguro laid down for us to call from today.

In addition to the all-star cast of the J-MUSIC Ensemble band, this album features a conclave of some of the world's greatest multi-genre musicians to create the best music possible: Sapphire, Mohmega, Adam Neely, Jonah Moss, Kento Iwasaki, Karlea Lynné, and Ruby Choi. Of course, no great tribute to Persona 5 would be without homage to its artwork. It's our honor to present the beautiful, provocative, and ground-breaking album artwork created by one of the greatest Persona artists in the world: blazpu! We have truly become "Persona-fied" with his rendition of us in the world of Persona, as the de facto band of the Phantom Thieves.

This entire project would not be possible in the slightest without the help of our generous backers over on Indiegogo. If you're reading this right now, we want to thank you all so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for allowing us to produce and deliver our passion to the world. Your undying love and support has kept us going through the toughest of times, and we promise from here on out, we'll continue to deliver nothing but the best music we can possibly make, and beyond. We truly hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it!"
