about

Joshua Idehen, Sons Of Kemet collaborator, and fresh from a release working with Daedelus joins forces with former alt-J Musician Gwil Sainsbury aka LOOR.

Joshua: "LOOR and I met on instagram. I was falling back into trance heavily so it felt so I really got into his Waters Album, and this was before I found out what he’d been doing prior. We talked about collaborating on a track, but then we ended up ranting hard about The State Of Things - it was clear we were on the same wavelength, politically, Angry An Feeling Numb At The Same Time. When he sent over the beats for me to choose one, I had a listen through and I knew I was gonna ask to do an EP with him. We settled very quickly on the four themes of the project: Politics, Hope, Despair, Rage

The last track I wrote was Kill The Bill. It’d taken a few tries to nail the verse at first; I knew I wanted a punchy opener, something that set the tone and captured the emotion. I follow James O’Brien on twitter, and for a while he started the day with the line “what fresh hell is this”. And I was like, yeah, that’s it; incredulousness.

What fresh hell
The sun fell
like a baton on the back of London town
sirens blaring

ANYWAY

Things are bad,
the phone-lines are dead
the road is dark
and the wolf is a cop
The devil don't rest
Is it even a protest
If your oppressor said yes
the rot is settling IN
But understand this is the Tea,
fake lords and gentlemen
My spirit is not for kettling"
