A limited 7" spun off the Neo-Acoustic for Café Après-midi covers compilation. Jazz singer Ann Sally takes on The Smiths' "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want," while Tokyo trio cambelle — with a languid air recalling Nekoise and Lamp — cover Marden Hill's "Curtain." Limited pressing, likely to sell out on release.
Omasta, a young band from Kraków steeped in hip-hop culture, draw on the lazy beats of J Dilla and Madlib and the jazz of Donald Byrd and Roy Ayers, blending instrumental hip-hop, jazz-funk and '70s fusion. Their name comes from local dialect for the fat that gives a dish its flavour — and the music is just as rich without being greasy. Their second album swings between hazy and bouncy, from the EWI lines of "Pillow Talk" to the sax-and-trumpet duel on "OG-Shock".
