Taken from SBKT069: Nahash - Fleurs Mortes
Vinyl + Digital: 15th May 2025

Nahash returns to SVBKVLT with Fleurs Mortes, a striking sophomore album that stands apart from fleeting trends and extravagant sound design. This record is an unfiltered reflection of Nahash's musical education —one shaped by the raw energy of ‘90s rave, hip-hop and dancehall afterparties, and the deep crates of his parents' extensive jazz and Afrobeat collection, taking influence from the anarchic spirit of Spiral Tribe to Dillinja’s legendary remixes of Björk, infused with heavy doses of Wu-Tang, DJ Premier, John Coltrane, and Archie Shepp.

Building on the themes of 2020's 'Flowers of the Revolution', this album envisions a future liberated from dystopia and oppression—a hopeful dream expressed through endless dub delays, ethereal reverbs, rave-infused drum hits, and, unexpectedly, live trumpet.

This record was years in the making, finally taking shape during a whirlwind European tour with SVBKVLT labelmates—late-night conversations, cold drinks, and ice cream fueling its final form.

The flowers may have withered, but a new season is on the horizon—one filled with love, renewal, and the scent of grilled lamb chops.
