Afrikantis

A sprawling, hazy map of the East Bay. Lo-fi loops and stream-of-consciousness reflections create a dense, nostalgic fog of sound.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic eight-minute sprawl of A Song for Mom where the beat becomes a meditative mantra.
The specific lyrical geography of Jack London Square Oakland CA grounding the hazy production in physical reality.
The way the percussion on My Fathers Drums feels slightly detached from the melody, creating a disorienting sense of memory.
