quiet dawn: celebrate
French multi-instrumentalist Quiet Dawn (Will Galland) hits a decade with First Word Records, celebrating the milestone with his new album Celebrate. This 11-track release showcases the genre-hopping spirit Quiet Dawn is known for, traversing broken beat, jazz samba, downtempo boom bap, and instrumental bruk.
Celebrate picks up where the Movements EP (First Word Records, 2022) left off, with Quiet Dawn weaving organic and electronic textures into irresistibly danceable grooves. The album features guest spots from broken beat luminaries like Bembe Segue and Lyric L, alongside Quiet Dawn's CoOp Presents collaborator Oliver Night. Uplifting melodies, soulful vocals, and bumping beats weave a tapestry of positivity, encouraging listeners to celebrate life, love, and the beauty of our differences. As Quiet Dawn himself says, "the idea was to make a record that we can dance to... Celebrate life, love, and the people we love." Don’t sleep on this one - Celebrate is available on vinyl.
