Channel The Spirits

by The Comet Is Coming

supported by

Tom Colquhoun Before the grandeur of Lifeforce, there was this exuberant trip of an album. Bass-heavy, catchy and unpredictable, this draws as much from Cosmogramma as it does from 'nu-jazz'. Favorite track: New Age.

krotix An early lp by these hybrid Jazz Artists. I like their experimenting with hints of trip hop and a lot of space age sounds spread onto a Jazzy foundation . Favorite track: Journey Through The Asteroid Belt.

unclechesty This is science fiction.
This is prophecy.
This is Afrofuturism.
This is now.
Shabaka is an artist along with Kamasi, Nubya & aTunde Adjuah that is taking us to the next level. Channel the spirits indeed.

about

The Comet Is Coming. Our saviours Danalogue The Conqueror, Betamax Killer and King Shabaka come bearing their debut album Channel The Spirits. A prophetic document. A celebration. The beginning of the end.

Marvel! As it blazes a streak of phosphorescent beauty across the night sky. Listen! As a trailing meteor shower drops hot coals hissing into topographical oceans. Inhale! The burning funk of strange new flavours. The sound of the future... today.

Channel The Spirits is shortlisted for the 2016 Mercury Prize.

Just incredible. A whole new shape for jazz. I've never heard anything like it before. The combo of two drummers, sax, and tuba is totally unique and the sounds they get out of those instruments are transcendent. Levrikon
