Jlin has recently announced her new album, Akoma, which is set to release on March 22 via Planet Mu. The album features collaborations with Björk, Kronos Quartet, and Philip Glass, who is also a part of the lead single “The Precision of Infinity.”
The album comprises 11 tracks and features Kronos Quartet and Philip Glass, in addition to Björk. The album's lead single, “The Precision of Infinity,” featuring Philip Glass, was recently released, which combines Glass' pianowork with mutated bass and a four-to-the-floor beat.
Jlin's last full-length album was “Autobiography (Music from Wayne McGregor's Autobiography)” in 2018, which was the score for her collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor for Krakow's experimental festival Unsound.
The album will be available in a limited edition gold vinyl double LP, as well as CD and digital formats. Jlin is set to go on a live tour following the release of the album, starting at Knoxville's Big Ears Festival and concluding in London on April 23. The tour also includes a live performance at The Hague's Rewire Festival alongside visual artist Florence To.
In 2023, Jlin was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Music for her composition “Perspective” for Third Coast Percussion, which reached the finalist stage. Last year, Jlin offered her own take on the piece with a mini-album for Planet Mu.
Overall, Jlin has been releasing music on Planet Mu over the past nine years, and her latest album, Akoma, is highly anticipated by her fans.

Jerrilynn Patton, also known as Jlin, is an electronic musician. She was born on July 30, 1987. She started producing music in 2008 and gained early recognition for her track “Erotic Heat” in 2011.
Her debut album, Dark Energy, was released in 2015 and was highly acclaimed. She followed it up with Black Origami in 2017, which also received critical praise.
Jlin grew up in Gary, Indiana, where she was exposed to music by her parents. Her favorite artists were Anita Baker, Rachelle Ferrell, and Sade. She also listened to footwork at an early age. She briefly attended Purdue University as a math major.
As an adult, she worked at a steel mill to support herself, but she claims this didn't have much influence on her music. Jlin started making her own music in 2008 and was inspired by her mother to pursue a unique sound. She also received encouragement from figures such as DJ Rashad, whom she communicated with online.
Jlin was hesitant to release “Erotic Heat” because it didn't fit the conventional sound of a footwork song. The track was eventually included on Planet Mu's Bangs & Works, Vol. 2 compilation in 2011, which showcased Chicago juke and footwork artists and brought Jlin attention. Later, the song was used to accompany a 2014 Rick Owens fashion show. Dark Energy, which was released in 2015, helped to popularize footwork on a global stage and was highly acclaimed.
In 2017, Jlin released Black Origami, her second album. It features collaborations with William Basinski, Holly Herndon, Fawkes, and Dope Saint Jude. The album received universal acclaim and was named among the best albums of the year by various publications. Also in 2017, Jlin was commissioned to compose the score for “AutoBIOgraphy,” a new work by Company Wayne McGregor that premiered at Sadler's Wells in London in October 2017.
In 2020, Jlin created the new work “Perspectives,” commissioned by the Boulanger Initiative for performance by Third Coast Percussion. In 2022, Jlin launched a course with online music school Soundfly, “Jlin: Rhythm, Variation, & Vulnerability.”
