**Darryl Jenifer** — bassist and founding member of the legendary hardcore innovators**
Bad Brains** — returns with _**The Weather Channel**_, a new instrumental album **
arriving July 17 on Org Music** on **LP, CD, and digital formats.**

Rooted in exploratory jazz and threaded with elements of fusion, dub, psychedelia,
and punk, _The Weather Channel_ channels the fearless experimental spirit that has
defined Jenifer’s career into a deeply immersive and unpredictable listen built 
on fluid improvisation, deep grooves, and expansive ensemble interplay.

To mark the announcement, Jenifer has released the album’s first single, **“Sacred
Love II,”** a reimagining of a song originally written for Bad Brains. The track
arrives digitally alongside a limited 7″ vinyl release featuring the exclusive b-
side **“F.A.L.S.” **from Jenifer’s new punk project, **Palm Beach.**

_The Weather Channel_ follows Jenifer’s acclaimed 2010 solo debut _In Search of 
Black Judas_ and finds him leading a powerhouse quartet featuring drummer and percussionist**
Ben Perowsky,** guitarist **Karma “Chogyi” Marco**, and keyboardist **John Medeski.**
The album also includes appearances from celebrated collaborators and late jazz 
luminaries **Jack DeJohnette** and **Karl Berger, **among others.

Across eleven tracks, the album presents nine new original compositions alongside
fresh reinterpretations of two Bad Brains songs, reframing familiar themes through
a richly textured jazz lens. While echoes of punk urgency, dub-heavy rhythm, and
psychedelic atmosphere drift throughout the record, its foundation remains firmly
rooted in adventurous ensemble playing and improvisation.

More than four decades after helping redefine hardcore music with Bad Brains, Jenifer
continues to evolve as an artist — pushing far beyond genre expectations with a 
record that feels expansive, soulful, and entirely singular.

Rather than revisiting the past, _The Weather Channel_ opens another chapter in 
Jenifer’s creative evolution: one driven by curiosity, collaboration, and the same
boundary-breaking mindset that made Bad Brains one of the most influential bands
in punk history.
