Vinyl - J Lind - Rotations
Tracklist
Description
In his latest project, Rotations (out June 6, 2025), Lind explores his family’s experience of the American opioid epidemic. Written and recorded between the hours of 4 and 7 a.m. during a year of intensive clinical rotations as a medical student at Weill Cornell Medicine, the record draws on Lind’s lived experience in conversation with the voices of patients encountered in Manhattan’s clinics, emergency rooms, and addiction treatment centers. Blending Sufjan-style chamber folk, Springsteen’s raw grit, and the metamodern wit of artists like Dawes and Vampire Weekend, Rotations tells the sweeping story of a country in crisis—each track complicating our understanding of responsibility and blame, both personal and collective.
J Lind is a songwriter, producer, and touring artist from Phoenix, now based in New York City. Known for his thematic depth and lyrical rigor, Lind studied philosophy at Princeton and Oxford before touring extensively across the US, UK, and Canada, performing everywhere from grunge venues and hospital chapels to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. His projects wrestle with unconventional themes—hospice, addiction, an evolving faith—and his pointed storytelling has resonated with diverse audiences.
