Dave Okumu, known perhaps best as frontman for The Invisible, though digging deeper into his production credits, huge names emerge such as; Grace Jones, Amy Winehouse, Jesse Ware, Rosie Lowe and Eska. On this album, the magic and alchemy of Dave's production style showcase subtle sonics and deep layering resulting in a contemporary sound to carry Anthony's Afrofuturistic metrical meanings.
Anthony and Dave first came across each other when working with Shabaka Hutchings during Covid broadcasts, and then after Anthony performed some poems on Dave's 2023 album 'I Came From Love', the seeds of collaboration were sown. With a little more psychedelia, a little more experimentation, Dave's eclectic vision focuses on the actual sounds on these pieces.
LP opener 'Satellite' is a fine example of how this new partnership pans out. New musicians have been enlisted; Dan See (drums), Aviram Barath (synths), Nick Ramm (Fender Rhodes) and Byron Wallen (trumpet). Add to that the mighty vocal power house of Eska and we have a whole new dimension of soul and depth, to carry Anthony's statements.
On the album's second single, 'Tony' - there's a nod to all drummers and creators of African rhythms, from the point of view of Afrobeat legend Tony Allen. Highlighting this is drummer's drummer Richard Spaven as Dave's choice of skin beater. He successfully reminds us that Tony was someone who understood the real power of rhythm and how it is used to unite people. As well as the new musicians on this LP, Dave Okumu played all the guitars and used the studio as his tool.
