Description
Bandleader and producer Tom Excel explains: We wanted to make something that felt joyous and defiantly human something that couldnt exist without that connection between people. You can get an AI to write a fugue in seconds, but it cant capture the chemistry and chaos that happens when musicians lock in together. Chasing Shadows is our way of holding onto that.
Following 2024s acclaimed Find Your Flame, praised by Roling Stone, Jazzwise, NPR and more, Chasing Shadows pushes the bands sound further into new soulful territory under Excels expert guidance, featuring bright new vocalist Eniola and a glowing cast of icons and innovators. Malian star Fatoumata Diawara lights up the title track on a powerful slice of Afrobeat, Joe Armon Jones leads the dub workout Rhythm Of You and the band take it back to their hip hop roots on great collabs with The Pharcydes Booty Brown, Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London dancehall favourite, Mr Williamz.
On Chasing Shadows, Nubiyan Twist continue to look outwards with their music but keep the focus firmly on humanity and positivity. It is an album which crosses continents and which shamelessly celebrates our collective strength.
