About this product
Solstein is not your typical 2020s fusion affair. A lot of inspiration has been taken from the funkier, more melodic end of the spectrum, with the band name-dropping The Crusaders, Idris Muhammed, early Bob James and 70s Herbie Hancock. Given some of the member's prog backgrounds, there are also echoes of the jazzier side of prog, like Camel, Happy the Man and some of the Canterbury scene bands. Holm-Lupo and Carlock's shared love of Steely Dan also shines through in a number of tracks.More than anything, though, Solstein is a playground for the musicians, where everyone was given free reins to do whatever they felt the music needed. If it put a smile on everyone's face, it was deemed right. The result is an album that is accessible yet adventurous, colourful, groovy and engaging. Album Tracks 1. Intersection 2. Oriental Folk Song 3. Southwester 4. The Night Owl 5. Siriusly 6. February 9th 7. The Creeper 8. Hamada

Gilles Peterson-championed cinematic maestro Sholto returns with his third album in three years. Following the epic, sprawling odyssey of 2024's double album 'Letting Go of Forever', his new project 'The Sirens' builds upon the groove-rooted, string-soaked dreamscapes and ethereal textures upon which he's built his name, this time inverting the beauty into a haunting fever dream. Deeply cinematic at it's core, the albums' tender jazz harmonisations flow into a moving undercurrent of strings and harp, anchored by Sholto's rhythmic sensibility and dramatic vocal cues that drift in and out across the record's 12-tracks, capturing the essence of Sirens like dream sequences caught mid-thought. The record is emotionally unflinching, exploring themes of duality, temptation, and emotional dislocation, in Sholto's words Inchblurring grief with groove, seduction and surrenderInch.Using the world of myth and the carnivalesque as a vehicle for exploring the intricacies of the human condition, 'The Sirens' emerged from a space of uncertainty and spiritual fatigue for Sholto. Drawing from ancient allegory to navigate his inner turbulence, the album is grounded in quiet defiance and tension that sometimes never quite resolves. Created once again in the fertile, creative hub of Sholto's SFJ studio in Hackney, the album reunites a familiar cast of musical characters, giving voice to the community feel and cohesive sound world he's building. The core of the Sholto sound is here, with Syd Kemp returning on bass, Clementine Brown on strings and Rachel Horton Kitchlew on harp. Album Tracks 1. Smooth Sailing (FT. Phoebe Coco) 2.
