I am in love with the sounds in the background! Love the vocal samples too!

Greyhounds aren't usually the purplish-hue of this particular beast; the difference between expectation and reality gives me the willies.

Lyrics

Hide away in your shell
Stay low from my site 
Your routine harness 
Has filled you up 
Your days 
Seem half asleep 
You're a limbo dreamer 
Stuck in between 

Hold on to what you might find out there 

Don't hide away 
Break your shell
Rise up from the low 
Forget the inertia 
That filled you up 

Hold on to what you might find out there

After releasing his critically acclaimed album Spaces in late 2013, and a completely sold out North American Tour in spring, Nils Frahm will return for the autumn run of his Spaces Tour with a special gift to his fans: an exclusive stream of album track 'Said And Done'.

'Touring the US again? I hope my folks at home wont get jelous but it is just starting to become some serious fun! Expect me to return with more crazy ideas about how to wreck an old New York Steinway and more tips: how to manage travelling UNITED AIRLINES. There will be more half broken tape delays, overclocked synths and hopefully I can score another silly drum computer. I am very much looking forward! Plus, if you want me back, I am coming. See you soon!' – Nils Frahm

His feverish playing is so stimulating that it's slightly nerve-wracking' – Pitchfork

'If you've ever caught Nils Frahm live, you can attest to what a powerful experience it can be' – Exclaim!

'It’s a powerfully moving experience watching him create all manner of sounds with his fingertips' – KEXP

'He had the audience laughing, at the point of tears and ultimately on their feet with a standing ovation' – Resident Advisor

Fofoulah – Fofoulah
Release date: September 19th, 2014

www.glitterbeat.com
www.fofoulah.com

“Fofoulah's music is a new voice in the endless Atlantic musical dialogue - what marks them out is the blurring of distinction between West African, jazz and popular music. Their interplay between polyrhythmic Sabar drumming, riffs and free-flowing improvisation can transcend categories…”
++Justin Adams (JuJu, Robert Plant, producer Tinariwen)

The London-based quintet Fofoulah (meaning “it's there” in Wolof) was formed in 2011 and features Tom Challenger (Red Snapper) on saxophone and keyboards, Phil Stevenson (Iness Mezel) on guitar, Johnny Brierley (Outhouse Ruhabi) on bass, Dave Smith (Robert Plant’s Sensational Space Shifters) on drums, and Kaw Secka (Irok) on Sabar drums.

With the rhythms of the Sabar drums - a traditional form of Wolof drumming from Gambia and Senegal – at its heart, Fofoulah’s music has evolved into an inspired cosmopolitan mélange that also incorporates elements of electronic music, dub, improvisation and afro-rock. Like the complex city they live in, their music is shaped and lifted by diverse sound-worlds and cultures.

“Some of us grew up within this culture, some of us studied the rhythms but most importantly we all realized and embraced the undeniable power and energy of these (sabar) drums”
Johnny Brierley (bass)

“This deeply traditional music connects people with sound, rhythm and movement in a very unique and special way and is a constant inspiration in everything we do.” 
Dave Smith (drums)

Having performed mainly in the creative hubs of east London and Bristol, in 2013 Fofoulah released the ‘Bene Bop EP’, a collaboration with Senegalese singer Biram Seck. Later that year the band entered the famed Real World Studios near Bath to begin work on their radiant debut album ‘FOFOULAH.’

Produced by drummer Dave Smith (Robert Plant, JuJu) ‘FOFOULAH’ is a previously unvisited crossroads where Sabar rhythms meet dub basslines and sci-fi synths; liquid melodies and Wolof rap entangle with trance-like dance grooves; and raw guitars, horns and samples blend with west and north African song forms.

In the album’s liner notes, bass player Johnny Brierley describes the creative journey that led to the making the album:
“The rhythms and traditions of the drums were essential starting points for our compositions and acted as the building blocks for all the other instruments…our music has developed and evolved with each members musical background and influences being heard within the band…'Fofoulah', our first album, is a snapshot of the band at this moment in time and the result of a constantly developing sound”
In keeping with the band’s expansive approach, the album also features an incredible roster of guest voices: Senegalese singer and Bristol resident Batch Gueye, UK singer / producer sensation Ghostpoet (courtesy of 'Play it Again Sam'), Algerian/Parisian singer Iness Mezel and the acclaimed Gambian born, Fulani musician Juldeh Camara (JuJu, Robert Plant).

Fofoulah is not merely a cross-cultural project. They are a dynamic band born naturally out of personal friendships and varied backgrounds, the nerve net of contemporary London and the post-global interconnectedness we all experience daily. The band is propulsive, innovative, celebratory and always leaning forward. They are a thrilling extension of the deeply rooted Sabar rhythms upon which their music revolves.

“Lets join together, leave conflict and work together. There is peace in community”
--No Troubles (Kelinte)

“If you don’t appreciate the truth of who you are and what the world brings to you, you will struggle. As we work we offer ourselves to the world.”
--The Clean Up (Rahas)

Pearson Sound b2b Pangaea b2b Ben UFO recorded live at Freerotation 2015.

Freerotation is a festival we've played for the last seven years. It's the only festival we've played so regularly, and it's an incredibly special place to all three of us.
 
This is the first time we've shared a recording of a set the three of us have played in a club or festival setting, and it feels right that it is a recording from there. This year we played the penultimate set on the final night in the second room, before Objekt closed it out (which you can hear here - https://soundcloud.com/keinobjekt/freerotation-2015-closing-set). Unfortunately the final 15 minutes were lost, but this is almost the entirety of our three hour set.
 
Huge thanks to Steevio, Suzybee, everyone involved in the running of Freerotation, all the attendees and to Alex Downey for the recording!
