The Daily Dig

The best entry point to London jazz voice Alfa Mist. In 2017 he sat down for a heart-to-heart with his two brothers and recorded it, and that conversation became the album's backbone. Its eight mostly-instrumental tracks are threaded with fragments of the real dialogue, fusing melancholy jazz harmony, alternative hip-hop and soul into a sound at once introspective and alive.

認識倫敦爵士新聲 Alfa Mist 最好的起點。2017 年，他與兩位兄弟促膝長談，把這段真心話錄進專輯，成為整張作品的靈魂骨架。八首曲目大多是器樂演奏，穿插真實對話片段，把憂鬱的爵士和聲、另類嘻哈與靈魂樂融合成既內省又充滿生命力的聲音。雙片裝黑膠恢復供貨。
