Track taken from the upcoming album 'Replicas' by Gideon Wolf...

...

Constructed over 2 years this album has been slowly pieced together, reshaped, scraped, re-written and made again before becoming the album you are listening to now.

Replicas’ is a dark journey into a past, present and future that is personal, and reflective of wider concerns shaping this island(s) we live on.

At points angry and born out of frustration and angst for the times we are living in, this album goes back to my roots; a council flat in South East London, freedom, degradation, concrete, community, rich, poor, the melting pot of cultures, music, and people.

As cultural lines have been drawn in a different way through gentrification, a poverty divide similar to those of the 80’s and the b word, I have found myself struggling to accept my own place as a working class composer, father and human.

This album I suppose you could say is a meditation on the urban sprawl I grew up in, getting older, and my place in a community that feels like it has lost its way. - GW

The Same Temperature We've Always Been

Christopher Whitley - The Same Temperature We've Always Been

Quetzal 'Puentes Sonoros' out on February 12th, 2021, available for pre-order now.

On Puentes Sonoros (Sonic Bridges), the Grammy-winning East L.A. band Quetzal crosses physical and stylistic borders to create an album of songs imbued with inventiveness. Its musicians stand at the center of transnational and transformative son jarocho practice, bridging rural life of Veracruz, Mexico, with contemporary Chicano sensibilities of urban struggle for freedom and self-determination. The strumming of traditional strings and percussive zapateado blend purposefully with Afro-diasporic R&B and batá, drawing from cultural roots to craft echoes of the future. Interweaving original compositions with sonic glimpses of inspirational figures from Veracruz, this recording embodies a collective vision of positive change.
