About Sam Akpro's Gauzy
Peckham-born alchemist Sam Akpro announces his first substantial body of work since his acclaimed debut album Evenfall - a stunning document of his singular, prodigious talent - landed last year on ANTI- Records. It comes in the Gauzy EP, which lands this Friday, Oct 30th, and features new single ‘Gauzy’ as well as the recently released ‘Dusty’ and Akpro’s collaboration with TYSON on ‘Wayside’.
Gauzy as a whole presents a snapshot of Akpro’s unbridled creativity over the past year since Evenfall’s release - a series of vignettes of an artist never resting and consistently pushing his singular sonic world in new directions. This is exemplified by the EP’s title track - released today - which pulls together soulful melodies from Akpro and guest vocalist HORNET, washes of shoegazing guitars and scuzzy lo-fi beats, creating an after-hours miniature symphony as ‘Gauzy’ carefully mutates across its three-minute runtime.
