London based pianist, producer and MC Alfa Mist has announced the release of a new album called Bring Backs which will be out on April 23rd via ANTI- Records. Pre-order is availble here. According to the press release, The album’s nine tracks of groove-based intricacies, lyrical solipsism and meandering fragmentations are tied together by a remarkable poem written by Hilary Thomas expressing the sensuous realities of building community in a new country.
Entirely written and produced by Alfa, the album was recorded in London with a core band of longtime collaborators including Jamie Leeming (guitar), Kaya Thomas-Dyke (bass and vocals), Jamie Houghton (drums) and Johnny Woodham (trumpet).
“Run Outs” is the first excerpt and comes with the official video. “Run Outs is a street game I remember playing when I was younger” says Alfa; “I used to think of making beats and playing with a band as separate worlds until I realised I was always trying to achieve the same thing. Making the music I want to make. With the song Run Outs I’m bringing together the vibe of my earliest beats with where I’m at today.”
