Listen to "Wakey Kama" now

Joined by virtuoso guitarist Mamadou Kelly and calabash player Boubou Diallo, "Wakey Kama's" lean arrangements focus in on the innate beauty and hopefulness of Touré’s music. Together, the trio trade melodic phrases and polyrhythmic gestures which ripple and ebb around Touré’s dulcet singing like the swing and slosh of gentle brooks, as he unravels a parable that makes an earnest call for children to respect and learn from their elders.

Afrik Toun Mé is available to pre-order now as a digital download, ahead of its release this Friday.

Following the recent announcement of his sprawling new double-album Raw & Disfigured, out October 30th, Emil Amos has shared another new track under his Holy Sons moniker, an anthemic cover of Daniel Johnson's "Held the Hand".

Listen to "Held the Hand" now

A fitting addition to Raw & Disfigured's overarching narrative of an underdog triumphing against all odds, Amos' cover pays homage to Johnston as one of the greatest champions of the underdog in outsider pop music, elevating the original with luscious arrangements and soaring guitars - "a throwback to Sebadoh's early penchant for turning lo-fi songs into big Nazareth-style anthems when they played live", as Amos puts it.

Recorded at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon West and featuring Steve Shelley, Amos’ sprawling new double album Raw & Disfigured is available to pre-order now on limited-edition translucent orange 2xLP.

Ahead of the release of her debut solo record this Friday, Sally Anne Morgan (House and Land / Black Twig Pickers) has shared the album's luscious opening track, "Polly on the Shore".

Featuring Nathan Bowles on drums (one of Morgan's collaborators in Black Twig Pickers) and her partner Andrew Zinn on guitar, the track cycles around interlocking guitar and banjo figures, buoyed by Morgan's elegant vocals, with Bowles' percussive flares lending a distinctive folk-rock edge.

Recorded at Sonic Youth’s now defunct studio Echo Canyon West, and featuring guest performances by Steve Shelley and WMFU in-house engineer Ernie Indradat, Raw & Disfigured delicately balances cues from classic and indie-rock with a tenderness and sense of foreboding, with a sprawling arc drawing from southern folklore, ghost stories and 1930’s Wellesian radio dramas.

Close on the heels of the reissue of his visceral masterwork Kill, the British composer has announced his latest masterwork, a striking collection of solo piano meditations that probe the deepest recesses of the human psyche, inspired by Bence’s own struggle with alcoholism and addiction.

Listen to title track "Love" now 

Recalling the unrestrained ambition and spiritual fire of Cecil Taylor, Maryanne Amacher’s ghostly explorations of psychoacoustic phenomena and Mica Levi’s low-lit, brooding piano works, Love’s stark minimalism and raw production reflect Bence’s personal struggles with striking honesty, searching for the deeper meaning in human suffering. A powerful and incredibly moving record.

Love is availble to pre-order now, and Kill is out everywhere now.
