Goldie’s Fallen Tree 1Hundred label is proud to present the debut album from Irish producers Cian McCann (Zero T) and Dominic Purcell (Beta 2), under their joint moniker, Searchlight.The self-titled album, dropping on September 2nd, wraps up a year-long campaign of launch singles having seen heavy support on BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio1 from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Benji B and Goldie. The band’s releases to date have also picked up wide press coverage and over 200 plays across UK radio.All roads have led to this album, a collection of songs featuring a diverse and inspired range of guest singers, rappers and musicians from Searchlight’s satellite network – all like-minded souls and friends on their own journeys, you might say…Manchester’s soul sensation and Children of Zeus collaborator [ K S R ] delivers late-night, neo-soul textures on the aptly titled ‘Journey’ alongside the soul-soaked gem ‘We Could Be More’. Other highlights include fast-rising Irish star Tolü Makay bringing her unique and dynamic vocal performances to ‘Can We Go Back’ and the seminal ‘Breathe’ - the band’s debut single from 2021 co-written by Goldie.Irish vocalists Steo, Lariman and Illaman join PAV4N, the first rapper of Indian descent to have a UK top ten record, in supplying the spoken word moments on ‘Searchlight’. Their bars always conscious and steeped in personal history, it beautifully blended across the record with McCann and Purcell’s vibey, downtempo production.Future Vintage is Searchlight’s simple ethos… reflecting the pairs’ chronologically wide-ranging influences. From the classic neo-soul of Dwele and Maxwell, to a distinct spirit of Baduizm that permeates throughout, to the jazz-soul of Roy Ayers and futurism of broken beat. It’s all there, confident and unmistakable.Cian and Dominic will spend the remainder of the year expanding from successful studio producers to members of a full, live Searchlight band, all under Goldie and Fallen Tree 1Hundred’s watchful eye and while the Searchlight story may be nascent, its authentic, well-informed, and hugely promising. This debut album a true sum of its parts, it all points this group of friends and performers in the direction of the stage for 2023… we excitedly await them.

The new album by B.Visible is a distinctive studio work, which captures the state of mind of searching for something, without actually knowing what. The only thing you can make sense of is that you aren’t currently satisfied, and you want a change in your life, even though you aren’t exactly sure of where you belong. This music is a quest, a search for a greater range of self-expression. B.Visible captured this very thought-provoking concept by focusing on what really matters, musically, and conceptually alike. He stayed true to his feelings, regardless of judgement or other people’s thoughts and opinions. In the end, it’s all about fulfilling creativity and exploring feelings without boundaries.“In Between Places”, demonstrates his remarkable talent for extending varied elements across the whole spectrum, allowing a wide range of influences to inspire, entertain and captivate the audience in a very special way. What makes “In Between Places” stand out is the fact that it shows the artist’s chops, without seeming to try to hard to do so. It’s organic and dynamic; technically accomplished, but also incredibly spontaneous and one-of-a-kind in its execution. The instrumental is perfectly balanced, allowing B.Visible’s expertly interwoven patterns of melody and rhythm to soar through the mix and come alive with raw and thrilling performance.Ultimately, “In Between Places” is a truly special album, which is rich in terms of sound design and textures. This record is a musical journey with a unique twist.

Wau Wau Collectif's second album, Mariage, is instilled with a newfound sense of purpose. Expanding upon the inspirational themes of their acclaimed 2021 debut, Yaral Sa Doom (Educate The Young), this long distance collaboration from musicians in Senegal and Sweden's Karl Jonas Winqvist is an even more stylistically expansive affair. Joyful children's songs collide with fuzzy guitar solos and thumping hip-hop beats. Shimmering synths lift off from the plunky percussion of the balafon and versatile sounds of the 22-string kora. Familiar voices from the first album return with more explicitly political lyrics, while the music feels both rhythmically dense and sonically weightless, flowing from one spellbinding moment to the next. For Mariage, band members from each country were inspired to include a wider array of instrumental flourishes unique to their cross-continental collaboration. "Yay Balma" revolves around the cycling riffs of Jango Diabaté's xalam guitar, as this song's fuzzy tones and soaring sax solos open side two with a bang. "Pitchi Goubidi" provides a stark contrast, with the kora played like a harp and Gilbert Badji's gravelly lyrics about "the bird of the night" disappearing into dubbed-out chamber pop. Winqvist's omnichord hovers back into focus on "Yonou Natangue," a free-floating jam that maintains the messages of Wau Wau Collectif's debut, promoting youth education to address the social issues facing contemporary Senegal: "Peace is the better wealth / The way to wander."
