The London-based duo Kit Sebastian follows on from their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Mantra Moderne’ with new LP ‘Melodi’, again with Mr Bongo.
On their new album, Kit Martin and Merve Erdem take the listener on a trip from the beaches of Bahia to the streets of Istanbul and Paris as they weave a psychedelic tapestry of global influences, vintage synths, and melancholy élan.
With references to world cinema and dusty records, the new album finds the pair expanding on the psychedelic jazz sound that distinguished their 2019 debut.
“In our first album we laid out our artistic manifesto,” the duo explain. “Working within that, we expanded our language and concepts and transposed them into something larger and more contemplative in our second album.”
The new track ‘Inertia’, which is streaming above, follows the previously released single ‘Agitate’, incorporating a world cinema aesthetics, complete with Erdem’s gorgeously textured voice.
‘Melodi‘ LP is out 1st October via Mr Bongo, on vinyl and digital formats. Grab it here.
