an alien called harmony: an alien called harmony
Francisco Espregueira
London explodes with a fresh sound as An Alien Called Harmony – a project by poet/rapper Nadeem Din-Gabisi and multi-talented MettaShiba – just dropped their self-titled debut EP. This genre-bending offering is a sonic adventure, blending London's streetwise energy with a kaleidoscope of influences. Released by New Soil, this is another great project from the London-based imprint that keeps delivering some of the best contemporary music in Europe.
Imagine a message in a bottle from another galaxy, filled with hopeful observations and profound questions about our world. Across five Brainfeeder-inspired tracks, An Alien Called Harmony offers a socially conscious perspective akin to Shabazz Palaces, all wrapped in love and empathy. Expect playful soundscapes, spontaneous improvisation, and a healthy dose of philosophical musing. This gem – another win for the taste-making New Soil label – is available on Bandcamp.
