Suntree Records is thrilled to unveil Oded Nir‘s latest musical endeavour, ‘Indoor Life.’ After a five-year hiatus following the success of his acclaimed LP, ‘Rooftop Conversations,’ the immensely talented bassist and multi-instrumentalist Oded Nir returns with a captivating and dreamlike new album. ‘Indoor Life’ is a sonic exploration, seamlessly blending elements of jazz, trip-hop, funk, soul, and downtempo gems. The result is a transformative musical journey that invites listeners into realms of self-reflection and dreams.

Highlighting this album are extraordinary collaborations, with Grammy award-winning Jamiroquai’s legendary drummer, Derrick McKenzie. Together with Oded, McKenzie co-wrote and produced the mesmerizing track ‘Alive,’ featuring the soulful vocals of his daughter, Jenner McKenzie. Derrick’s producer prowess also shines on ‘Late Bloomer,’ a disco-infused easy-listening tune, and ‘Hot Mess,’ where his live, powerful drums take centre stage. Adding to the supergroup dynamic is Matt Johnson, another member of Jamiroquai, who lends his keyboard magic to Oded’s funky track ‘Hot Mess.’ Tel Aviv-based vocalist Meital De Razon graces the soulful and romantic ‘Come Back,’ while India-born vocalist Sandhya Sanjana contributes to the meditative early morning track ‘Sunrise.’

The late Paris/Amsterdam DJ producer Benjamin Ellery lends his French spoken word voice to ‘Film Noir,’ infusing the track with a trip-hop allure. Local Amsterdam musician and Oded’s band member Thijs Van Den Geest collaborates on the fantastic ‘Sababa Dub,’ a smoothly rolling groove. The title track, ‘Indoor Life,’ evokes feelings of nostalgia and love. At the same time, the album concludes with a re-edited 2023 version of Oded’s 2011 hit ‘Into Your Heart,’ featuring Dutch vocalist Gia Mellish.
