Whiskey is the 1996 debut album by Swedish singer‑songwriter Jay‑Jay Johanson, a defining release of late‑90s European trip hop. Blending smoky lounge vocals with nu‑jazz textures, drum ’n’ bass rhythms, and cinematic melancholy, the album established Johanson as one of the era’s most distinctive and emotive voices.
Tracks such as “So Tell the Girls That I Am Back in Town” and “It Hurts Me So” highlight his ability to fuse intimate, whisper‑soft vocals with atmospheric electronics and lush arrangements. A cult classic that sits comfortably alongside artists like Moloko, Tricky, Archive, and Lamb, Whiskey remains a landmark in downtempo and trip hop.
This Music On Vinyl reissue is pressed on 180g translucent blue vinyl, limited to 500 individually numbered copies, and includes an insert.
