About this item

Sinkane’s Ahmed Gallab takes full advantage of the opportunity on the latest in the Alive at Spacebomb Studios series - the fourth in the series, following albums by Natalie Prass, Sleepwalkers, and the duo of Fruit Bats & Vetiver. Following his album "Dépaysé" (City Slang) from earlier this year, which the Sudanese-American musician described as “the story of an immigrant’s journey of self-discovery in the Trump era,” Gettin’ Weird takes five songs from that album and one from 2014’s Mean Love (“How We Be”) and reimagines, rearranges, and finds new meanings with the help of Spacebomb House Band: producers Cameron Ralston and Pinson Chanselle, Matthew E. White as executive producer, and multi-instrumentalist and arranger Trey Pollard.

The result is a masterpiece of analogue psychedelia, the organic and digital elements of the originals intertwined in the expanse of dub space, rerendered with toasty tape fuzz or reborn as 31st century gospel. Essential listening for fans of William Onyeabor, Peaking Lights and Hailu Mergia.
