The South-London based musician TONE announces his debut album “So I Can See You”, due for release via Rhythm Section.

With a mixtape already under his belt, one that he says was thrown together on a whim; this new body of work was created during the pregnancy and subsequent birth of his daughter. TONE, real name Basil Anthony Harewood, was compelled to capture this significant moment, recording mostly at night, with his new life and old life in mind. The album is less a departure of who he was but an embrace of the future and the new life that arrives with beginning a family.

Across the 11 tracks, we hear tender guitar riffs and off-beat R&B elements press up against influences of dub and shoegaze leaving you with a woozy afterglow. TONE’s distinctive vocals are complemented by the familiar voices of Coby Sey on “So I Can See You”, Fran Lobo on “From the North” and Roxanne Tataei on “Make It Drop”. Having both Afro-Caribbean and Welsh heritage has informed the ways in which he sees things and the music he has been magnetized to, especially growing up in both a tiny village in the north of England in East Yorkshire as well as further afield in Europe.

Time spent in St Kitts and Nevis as a child opened his eyes and ears to calypso, reggae and dub and while back home in the UK, he fell in love with ska, punk and skinhead culture none of which he ever outgrew and to this day still informs his music practice.

Each track was recorded on a Tascam 38 tape machine in the studio he set up with Mica Levi and Coby Sey in Hither Green with the drums, played by Marc Pell (Good Bad Happy Sad) were recorded at Andy Ramsey’s studio (Stereolab).

Alongside, Levi and Sey TONE is a CURL collective member and was half of the short-lived punk-duo, Farai.

Wewantsounds poursuit sa série de rééditions Akiko Yano avec l‘album culte Ai Ga Nakucha Ne enregistré en 1982 et coproduit par Ryuichi Sakamoto. L’album a été enregistré à Londres avec le groupe Japan et à Tokyo avec Yellow Magic Orchestra et a été mixé par Steve Nye et Shinichi Tanaka. Ai Ga Nakucha Ne (« Cela doit être l’amour » en japonais) est le sixième album studio d’Akiko Yano. Il succède à Tadaima sorti en 1981 et continue d’explorer la veine électro-pop de son prédécesseur, dans la foulée des tournées Yellow Magic Orchestra dont Akiko a fait partie entre 1979 et 1980. Pour ce nouvel album, elle tente une nouvelle approche et réunit ses amis anglais Mick Karn, Steve Jansen et David Sylvian du groupe Japan aux Studios Air à Londres sous la houlette de l’ingénieur du son Steve Nye. En deux semaines, les musiciens enregistrent une poignée de titres fascinants gorgés de pop synthétique, chantés en japonais et en anglais. Les onze morceaux présents sur l’album ont principalement été composés par Akiko et sont une superbe collection de hits en puissance mettant en valeur la voix si caractéristique de la chanteuse, accompagnée par les musiciens de Japan. Parmi les nombreux temps forts de l’album, on note la pop calibrée de « Aisuru Hito Yo » et l’avant-groove de « Another Wedding Song », ainsi que le superbe « Good Night » chanté par Akiko et David Sylvian et qui clôt l’album. Ai Ga Nakucha Ne qui sort pour la première fois en dehors du Japon a été remasterisé à partir des bandes originales par Mitsuo Koike et offre une nouvelle introduction écrite par Mac DeMarco.

Hot Casa's latest deep dive into the Afro-funk archives takes us to the Democratic Republic of Congo at the turn of the 1970s. It was here, in a nation brimming with post-independence confidence, that a funk band called The Soul Kids briefly burned brightly. This reissue of their impossible to find debut album should be essential listening for anyone interested in West African funk. It contains a mixture of sizzling self-penned instrumentals and inspired cover versions of American funk standards, including a memorable take on Wilson Pickett's cover of Beatles classic "Hey Jude" and two fantastic versions of James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag".
