I really stumbled throughout the Singapore neo-soul/jazz/funk band The Steve McQueens for the primary time right here within the weblog – their attractive “Solar” got here in regards to the time I obtained hooked to Hiatus Kaiyote.
Now, we’re offered with their a bit extra experimental facet – a 6-track EP referred to as Tape Ends, out through Umami Data. “By no means Not” definitely stands out – particularly whenever you discover out that the tune is impressed by the story of Hindu Goddess Akhilandeshwari. Translated from Sanskrit, her title is often known as “she who isn’t not damaged”. Eugenia Yip, the band’s vocalist, says:
The tune explores the concept that the Goddess exists all over the place and lives within the elements of us that really feel damaged. It’s inside these cracks that bridges kind, connecting who we’re to who we have gotten.
Fairly the listening expertise, huh?
