Fresh from making his Glastonbury debut, Cyrano shares ‘Heavy Dust’, the kinetic lead single from his new EP ‘Limitations’. 

It’s a post-festival anthem, soaked in melancholy and longing, which captures the feeling of homesickness and emotional distance after a year spent touring the world; from Aberdeen to Auckland, New York to Singapore. 

Cyrano will return to London this October for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Heavy Dust Lyrics:

Heavy dust clouds and sleeping on doubt
Settle down and wait it out
What’s the cost of an hour in your heart?
Hour’s over and I hardly breathe
So tell me what it’s all about

So how did you notice signs 
To tell me something’s wrong?

I was lost, I was your fool
But I’ve worked out all the days ’til I’ll see you
I could write better in my letters with another night’s sleep at home
Cos I'm resigned to hard times on my own
To figure what I’m all about

So how did you notice signs 
To tell me something’s wrong?

Hours in your heart
Hour's over
And I hardly breathe

Ava Luna - "Frame Of Us"

Ata Kak's first new song in over 30 years!

Ata Kak created a peculiar slice of Ghanaian music history with his debut album “Obaa Sima”. While it barely made a ripple at the time of its release in 1994, the cassette found a new life online in 2006. A not-so-underground cult obsession grew after it appeared on  the blog Awesome Tapes From Africa as its very first post, a sort of manifesto for the project. His addictive amalgam of left-field electronic music and Twi-language hiplife reached surprising levels of awareness among music fans of many stripes. The mystery behind the musician’s identity grew. Eventually Yaw Atta-Owusu came out of the shadows, from his quiet home in Kumasi, to tour the world playing high-energy, sweat-soaked performances at major festivals like Glastonbury, Sónar and Pop Montreal. 

Now, for the first time since 1994, Ata Kak releases new music. Honed in studios around Kumasi over the last several years, the songs feature the rapper-singer’s acrobatic rap, signature scatting, dramatic drums and even traditional Akan harp. The compositions are more ambitious than his earlier work, with more complex arrangements and layered harmonies. Ata Kak’s new songs are also the natural expression of a restless artist—he is a prolific poet and author of a half-dozen books, as well as an active gardener and busy painter. 

Born in Ghana in 1960, Ata Kak wasn’t always involved in music. But his travels and openness to the world lead him into the music industry. While living in Germany, he was invited to play drums in a reggae band and subsequently played in highlife bands in Ontario after moving to the Toronto area. He recorded “Obaa Sima” there at his home studio and released it in Ghana in 1994. He didn’t participate in music much in the intervening years until “Obaa Sima” was reissued in 2015. He started performing his song live with the help of a brilliant cast of London-based musicians and has toured three continents and played to thousands of fans in venues of all kinds.
