anchorsong

richly textured tapestry of outward-looking sounds, blending modern and retro music and treading new ground with tribal rhythms.

The album continues the progression of 2014's incredible "Mawa" EP, on which this ever-curious musician first began to blend the minimalist, catchy melodic phrasing and attention-grabbing beats of his Tru Thoughts debut LP 'Chapters' with a newfound love for vintage African music. Influences from Orchestre Poly-Rythmo to Fela Kuti-style Afrobeat to bluesy High Life now hold sway, while Anchorsong retains the crisp production sensibility and deep, immersive arrangements that have always set his music apart. “Mellow mix of jazzy electronica and sweet melodies”  - Q Magazine
