My new single, 'Galu', is out via SA Recordings on July 14th, 2021! I’m buzzing to share this track with you.
About the Track
During the pandemic, imagining peaceful places from my growing up in Kenya gave me, even temporarily, appreciated moments of rest & stillness. The track features field recordings that I took in December 2019, where I was wading slowly in the Indian Ocean at low tide on the Kenyan Coast — looking at crab pools and blurry figures in the horizon, and reveling in the secrecy of mornings.
In 'Galu', I wanted to preserve the freeing feeling of releasing your body into the quiet sway of the waves; and the freeing feeling of being able to breathe out, completely.
In addition to the field recordings, you'll hear sounds made with the voice, kalimba, drumset (played by the very talented Chris O'Leary) - served with numerous electronic manipulations. A massive thank you to Madeleine Flieger for the amazing mix, and to the wonderful SA Recordings team :)
Support the track on Bandcamp or on SA’s product store. (Additionally, find ‘Galu’ on streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you please!)
