ALFA MIST / ANTIPHON (2LP)

Music producer/composer from East London. Currently only 25 years old, he is a talented artist who produces and remixes Australian neo-soul hero Jordan Rakei and fellow up-and-comer Tom Misch. This work, which was created two years after his debut EP, has a finish that gives you a sense of the personality of a 10-year player who has been composing since the age of 15. While he feels the grime and hip-hop that live in his hometown, he also prefers film music. When he sublimates his own unique sensibilities into songs with a strong story, it's like Mingus's works driven by a neo-soul style. Sweet and thrilling.


Centered on his keyboard, bass, drums, guitar, strings, horn section, vocals by Jordan Rakei, singing by Kaya Thomas-Dyke, who created this album's impressive artwork, and narration/rap by Alfa himself. , As a band, although it is a small organization, it is summarized in a rich production with go jazz. Even if you listen to it without thinking about anything and listen to it in the flow of recent jazzy soul, you can enjoy it with the best mood, but the listener's musical curiosity is immediately piqued by the modern and organic Afro/Latin flavors that are sprinkled here and there like a top chef. It will tickle you. If rice has Thundercat, Australia has Hiatus Kaiyote. And there is him in England. He is definitely a leader in the black music scene in the future, and is the eye of the UK jazz typhoon, predicting the next trends.
