If This Is It

DJ Seinfeld returns with his third studio album “If This Is It” on Ninja Tune.

‘If This Is It’ is a 12-track exploration of letting go, embracing the present, and turning “what ifs” into acceptance.

“‘If This Is It’ is about reflecting on the past without dwelling in it, and finding harmony in restlessness,” Seinfeld commented. “Through writing it, I’ve tried to turn long-held anxieties into acceptance, and I hope listeners can take their own meaning from it”. The album’s themes are shaped by a tension between restlessness and contentment.

The album’s themes are shaped by a tension between restlessness and contentment. From an early age Seinfeld struggled to fully settle into the present, often missing home while on family holidays. “It became a running theme with my parents, lamenting my inability to enjoy where we were” he adds, “Fast-forward to now, and that restlessness is still intact, especially with my job being what it is and travelling so often - I find myself always looking to go somewhere else, but whatever I’m looking for is never really there, and where I am is no good unless I’m able to leave…This realisation isn’t something new, but I’ve had issues accepting it. It’s a sense of anxiety in the present.”
