Kibi James - Delusions - Green - VINYL LP

Atlanta three-piece Kibi James announce their debut full-length album, delusions, out August 25th on Bayonet Records. Mari (guitar, keys), MJ Corless (bass) and Pomi Abebe (drums) join forces in crafting intoxicatingly dreamy melodies, their soft, siren-like voices sweeping you into their world as they bilingually share reflections on love in it's many forms - romantic, familial, self - but most prominently the love that comes from their friendship. Co-produced, recorded and mixed by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, SPELLLING, Toro y Moi) at Chase Park Studios in Athens, GA, and mastered by Heba Kadry, delusions is laden with vividly rich portraits of the places they call home - Atlanta, their music community, their physical house, and the sense of home they have in one another.While the outside world is often a source of chaos, Kibi James finds security and intimacy in their shared domestic life together - the details of which come in the form of the intimate narratives and memories that make up delusions. From the manifestation spell for their now-apartment that's included in the first verse of Inchmister g,Inch to finding homely solace in loved ones on Inchright nowInch and Inchbender,Inch the band's ultimate sense of home is both fluid and utterly unshakeable, as long as they have each other. They harmonize in both English and Spanish as their voices softly intertwine, singing of their hopes for the future over hazy, treated guitars and the soft pattering of drums. Their strong sense of unconditional love and mutual camaraderie keep them grounded, preserving the warm, optimistic light that has shone through every aspect of the band since their genesis. Corless says, InchWe're proud of where we come from and where we're headed. We're absolutely going to keep these delusions going.Inch
