"It's been inspiring to just really trust our instincts and go for it, and I think it means even more that we're doing this after we've got a few of our own solo records out," says Jason Chung [Nosaj Thing]. "I feel like trust is the key word and concept around this project, this is a 50/50 relationship and the give-and-take that comes with it," Phillipe Aubin-Dion [Jacques Greene] replies, who is sitting in Nosaj Thing's Los Angeles studio during one of the last sessions before the Arts District space is broken down and rebuilt a month later in Tokyo. "That collaboration process is what I'm most excited about," he adds. "In an ideal way, I would love you to be part of the story. Xavier [Tera] is part of the story. Whoever is designing the light show is part of the story. It's more people in the real world, doing things."
And there's the statement of intent.
Verses GT is the project, the group, the album, the live show, the moving image – an all encompassing banner for a new collaborative world.
Following surprise singles 'Too Close' ft. Ouri in 2023, 'RB3' in 2024 and 'Unknown' in 2025 (then credited as Nosaj Thing and Jacques Greene), Verses GT is a heavyweight, tangible record that expresses a very specific state of feeling. A bold and elegant vision reflecting both lived-in, and lived-through modern times.
"The bulk of this record was done in person. It's not assembled on Gmail or on Splice, it's based on human relationships," says Phillipe, of the sense of place that both making the record, and listening to it imparts. "We got the opportunity to record in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris at Motorbass and Montreal at your studio," Jason adds. "This record opens up many sides of us that we've been doing individually."
There's a hazy, meditative heaviness to Verses GT, not in an overtly emotional way but more as the result of intention and purpose. Coupled with an understated confidence to strip things back and cause a slow down in our everyday. An internal and external move that exists if we want it to. "Can we reduce the outlets and distill it down to its purest essence?" explains Phillipe, of their songwriting approach that sparks and insinuates throughout the concise, ten song album. "This is it. It's really betting on headspace and a feeling of being locked in."
The intrinsic duality of Verses GT means the album also surges with the energy of empathetic, connected body-music. A hard-edged intimacy that is celebrated by George Riley, Kučka and TYSON on 'Your Light', 'Forever' and 'Angels', respectively. With a collaborative art-working team of photographer-director Xavier Tera, creative director-writer Terence Teh and artist-designer Erin D. Garcia, Jacques Greene and Nosaj Thing have created a project that is a globally-spanning, call-and-response mantra. A singular yet wide-reaching dialogue between each other, each prospective listener, and a shared, collective experience of making something real, together.
