Abba Chant is set to be released by German-based The Merchant Records. It sees the label’s founder, Tamrin, join forces with Jamaican Roots Revivalist Han across an EP with eight tracks overall. It is the third release from this fledgling outfit, following on from the success of its 2021 project Earthman Riddim.

The tracks veer from rich and rounded (Trumpets) to stripped-back and unfussy (Deep Within), all with The Merchant Record’s already emerging attention to detail. The vinyl format of juxtaposed A-B sides accentuates the overall feel of the EP, too:
