Swizzy / Chandler Ward - In The Arms Of Insight - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Kaleida are the transatlantic duo whose darkly mystic soundworld finds glimmers of hope in the disquiet. Spanning an ocean, the pair have nurtured a long-distance partnership that withstands the shifting patterns of life. They first formed in 2013 when a friend introduced them over email. Christina Wood was working in the Indonesian forest while recording demos in her bedroom each night, and Cicely Goulder had been composing for film productions in London. Despite the miles between them, they found an instant musical chemistry. Kaleida first came to international renown in 2014, when their single InchThinkInch went viral overnight and was featured in the soundtrack for the cult Keanu Reeves film, John Wick. Their debut album Tear The Roots arrived in 2017 and crystallized the pair's moody pop aesthetic, which merges Wood's sylph-like, operatic vocals with Goulder's neo-Noir electronica. The record earned the duo their second spot in a film soundtrack, this time for Atomic Blonde with a tender take on Nena's 1980s anti-war classic Inch99 LuftballonsInch. It was followed in 2020 by the pair's second album Odyssey dubbed Incha consummate work of electronic artistry.Inch Their new album In Arms is a record that leans into a near transcendent spiritualism, where their minimalist production conceals a raw, celestial power. With a departure from their previously insular way of working, they invited other musicians into the production process, most notably producer Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, M.I.A, Skepta). Album Tracks 1.

Double translucent white colored vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2021 . Over the course of her rich, expansive, defiantly sprawling album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, the Ivor Novello-Award-winning, Mercury nominated Little Simz delivers an undeniable modern classic, effortlessly condensing any number of disparate styles and genres into music which thrillingly broaches the gap between urgent modern treatise and hip hop. A bold, quantum leap forward from the critically beloved InchGrey AreaInch, this is hardly music aiming simply for the pop charts; rather, it is turbo charged with the kind of fury and potency, confusion and anxiety that make up the modern experience of being Black, British and female at this particular point in time. This is no mere philosophical exercise, however - the result is her most ambitious and soaring body of work to date, one which operates at the very heights of what rap can be. Album Tracks 1.

'This album is about speaking the truth. The truth from within. Luckily, I have been blessed to come across the paths of other artists that shared the same sentiment over the seas that dwell. These artists all feature heavily on this record. It isn't about me or you. It's about everything that is within.' - Ben WestbeechSpotlighting featured artists such as Dames Brown (recorded by Moodymann in Detroit), RAHH, Karen Harding, DAVIE and Obi Franky, with co-production credits including Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon and Chris Penny, as well as Mousse T., the record was born out of a Glitterbox writing camp in London at Defected's studios.
