About

- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

This unexpected collaborative project between London musicians - singer-songwriter Tom Misch and progressive jazz drummer Yussef Dayes - asked an intriguing question with its album title What Kinda Music – is it electronica? Is it acid jazz? Is it hip-hop? Is it neo-soul? What Kind Music amalgamates multiple genres, but thinking about labels is surely not as important as enjoying its incredibly psychedelic vibe. Released on the legendary Blue Note Records, this debut record from the British duo finds a uniquely warm synergy between Misch’s catchy riffs and laidback crooning alongside Dayes’ punchy and punctuated drumming. Featuring guest appearances from saxophonist Kaidi Akinnibi, rapper Freddie Gibbs, and bassist Rocco Palladino - What Kinda Music reveals superb musicianship and vital rhythmic energy at every turn. An engrossing album by two of the UK’s brightest young talents that defies categorisation. - The Analog Vault
