Maisha - Osiris |
|
Maisha announce their debut album with 'Osiris', framing beguiling melodies in terms of Egyptian mythology, imagery prompted by old books that Long found in his grandparents’ house.
Their debut sees them carve out out their own style through the weight of expectation that surrounds spiritual jazz. They take stock of that history, channelling the greats like Pharoah Sanders, while filtering their own influences – which range from jazz to Afrobeat – through every part of their musical process. It’s a sound which rests on trance-inducing rhythms, instinctive musical interchange and repeated, deeply enriching melodic refrains. It’s a combination which has made for their own singular sound. The album is titled There Is A Place, and will be released on Brownswood Recordings 9th November 2018. Pre-order / Stream: http://bit.ly/2NDI3rR |
