Alfa Mist - Recurring (Live At King's Place) '2024

Tracks list

Alfa Mist and Amika Quartet share a new ennead of never-heard-before tracks,
alongside a few expansions on earlier releases: Recurring. An eternal return of
saintly jazz and storytelling hip-hop, the record comes hot on the heels of
Mist's recent Variables LP (2023) and the Manchester quartet's Amika's earlier
'Exist' release from earlier in 2024. The latter group have toured extensively
with Alfa Mist in recent years, and the new live record notably foreruns its
full release with a new exclusive, 'Checkpoint (Violence)', on which Mist not
only drums, but at the same time MCs, with verve and flair. Here Mist
concept-checks everything from modern-day apartheid to astrology (and
exasperations thereof - "don't ask me your starsign"). Amika, meanwhile,
embellish each mix with searing string arcos and long fibrous tugs, which seem,
ironically, to assure us about the future, though they do lend the songs a
demure mood: "don't fret".
