Alfa Mist - Bring Backs (Gatefold Black Vinyl Edition)
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
** Please note you are purchasing a copy of a second batch of vinyl we are due to receive early June **
On his new album Bring Backs the producer, self-taught pianist and rapper takes us on a sonic trip back to his beat-making past on the streets of East London, through the depth and musicality he discovered composing and playing jazz.
2017 saw the release of Alfa's breakthrough record, Antiphon and the 2019's album Structuralism were both self-released on his Sekito label. His latest endeavour, 2021's Bring Backs, sees Alfa taking on new challenges. The record marks his first release for the label Anti and is also the most detailed exploration of his upbringing in musical form.

lyrics
Nobody listens anymore, what are we talking for?
We’ve been here before, do we want more?
But if the morning waits for the sun
Well when it’s all said and done will we all become one?
Look what we’ve become
Most of us barely even care, we’re all in our own despair
All in life is fair but tell me how did you get there?
And as the evening waits on the stars
Someone is travelling far never mind who they’ve left at home
So why are we alone?
We’re only people, we’re only what we were taught to be
Children become what they see, so what about me?
How can we be far when we’re so near?
Well maybe sometime next year.
I heard that you’re fine my dear
And when I call I hope that you’ll still be here

Great album! A crossover jazz-r'nb-african trip from continent to continent. London does it again. Nyubian Twist with more jazz overtones. John Woodward
