This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Recorded in Brooklyn, NY and in Accra, Ghana. Osei Korankye is a master musician and singer from Accra, Ghana. Known as one of the very last remaining seperewa musicians in Ghana. These tracks are a throw back to the classic styles of Afro-Funk in 1970s Ghana. Recorded to tape and produced by Super Yamba bandleader and drummer Daniel Yount and engineer/bassist Vince Chiarito (Ikebe Shakedown/Charles Bradley/Black Pumas). Upon a trip to the United States in 2017 Korankye linked up with Yount for a few gigs in New York City. Yount learned Korankye's music and played drums on the gigs. InchAfter that I knew I wanted to collaborate with Osei on some of the songs Super Yamba had written in the style of Ghanaian funk.Inch The collaboration came together effortlessly and the result is two beautifully psychedelic funk tunes made for dancing time!

Sometimes, a change of view can transform a person's world. The Natural Lines, the artist formerly known as Matt Pond PA, takes a huge leap forward in his measured song-craft, melodic immediacy, collaborative detail and wryly questioning lyrics on this gorgeous album of intimate reflections from a relocated, renamed, revivified talent. Matt hasn't been quiet since 2017's Still Summer. A re-sequenced reissue of 2015's The State Of Gold in 2020, along with EPs and soundtracks kept him busy, and The Natural Lines was not a project to be rushed. Recorded with close collaborators and friends over a period that saw Pond make vital adjustments to his life, it's stealth emergence reflects his desire to set a fresh pace for himself and come from somewhere new, somewhere more open. Now based in Kingston, New York, with his partner and wild dog Willa, Matt explains the album's gestation thus. InchIt was something different from the start. I wanted to write as purely as I could. Instead of getting stuck in the 'tour, write an album, an album, tour' cycle, which is not a natural way of writing or living, I wanted to write an album and when it was done I wanted to make sure it was done. I didn't want this feeling of, 'Oh, we didn't have time', or, 'I don't know whether I believe in the songs but it's coming out anyway.' I used to be always racing to the finish line, but I'm not anymore. Once I took control of my mind, I could see what I wanted to say more clearly. Instead of random floods of mania and panic, I felt like I was composed and composing. It has become as simple as reading the words of a sentence in the right order. As small as the pause before I hit 'send'.Inch A development, you might say, conducted along the most natural of lines.Inch
