Joseph Kamel - Miroirs [COMPACT DISCS] Germany - Import date 10/25/2024

The Swedish indie pop duo Light Vibes made their debut in spring 2018 with the Following EP to acclaim from The Line of Best Fit, The 405, Ja Ja Ja and more - but that was a first taste of a project over five years in the works. The duo of Erik Klinga and Mathias Zachrisson had slowly been creating a world of their own in the downtime between touring and recording with the acclaimed Swedish indie pop act Simian Ghost, before finally setting out on their own.Their debut album Past/Present is the culmination of that work, a dreamy and ambitious record floating between psychedelia and indie pop, offering up a shimmering soundscape that draws both toward the Nordic winters and tropical summers.

A companion mini-album to Heavy Combination, last year's career-spanning compilation documenting some of the amazing music recorded over five decades by the late Joseph Kamaru, a towering figure in post-colonial Kenyan culture. This new record presents five more gems from the archives, chosen by Disciples and Joseph Kamaru's grandson, the sound artist KMRU. Carefully remastered from original tape transfers, with liner notes by Kenyan academic Maina wa Mutonya.
