Keyboardist and producer Yoni Mayraz returns with an anticipated new album, ’Dogs Bark Babies Cry’ set for release on September 5th 2025, via PPK Records (run by Pino Palladino & David Passick). The follow-up to his breakout debut ‘Dybbuk Tse!’ sees Mayraz pushing his singular sound into deeper, wilder territory.

‘Dogs Bark Babies Cry’ stands for “the moment when a commotion takes place. Dogs start barking, babies cry. It’s an ominous sound, yet a natural one. One that can be heard from afar,” explains Mayraz.

Recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in North London, the album captures a unique moment in time. Making full use of the dark wooden acoustics and vintage gear, each track was recorded live, with different guest artists joining across the session. The result is a bold statement, built on tightly structured compositions and grooves, weaving together elements of 90s hip-hop, Middle Eastern textures, and electronic soundscapes, while echoing the sound of the great 70s jazz-funk trios.
