Ten years after their reunion record 'A Simple Act Of Faith' Cymande have come together once again to work their magic, delivering cosmic grooves that seem to be sourced from a divine higher power - 'Renascence' successfully reinforces the British funk group as so much more than a sample source for hip hop darlings.

That's how we roll. A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconic discography, 'Renascence' picks up where their 1974 album, 'Promised Heights', left off – a spiritual and sonic follow-up, bringing a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which remains foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the United States and UK. 'Renascence' tells the story of a band that never fully got its due back in the day; but are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves – politically aware, and spiritually positive with infectious grooves.
