Following the huge success of 2018’s Kokoroko EP’ and the sensational Abusey Junction (100M streams and counting), Could We Be More’ is an expansive and ambitious debut album that speaks to the force of Kokoroko.

Each song possesses the power to evoke memories and harness the feeling of home through music: from the psychedelic, funk-laden previous single ‘Something’s Going On’ to the congregational energy of today’s track ‘We Give Thanks’, ‘Could We Be More’ fuses together the African- London synergy which so naturally underpins the heat of Kokoroko’s identity.

Available on 12” LP vinyl with a special limited edition light blue colourway vinyl exclusive to indie stores, as well as on digital, CD and cassette format. Early support for the album received by BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Jazz FM, Radio Nova and press outlets such as Clash, Trench, Line Of Best Fit, Crack Magazine, Loud & Quiet.

Sam Wilkes answers a few questions from Leaving Recordslabelmate Carlos Niño, on his debut full-length WILKESListening to WILKES numerous times, consideringwhat I might write about it for a Press Release, (which Iagreed to do because I'm a fan of his Music and hiscollaborations with Sam Gendel and Louis Cole / Knower,)I was growing in enthusiasm, looking forward to mynext radio show or DJ set including the song "Today"so I could hear it bump in a nice system. I was hypedthe more I took in this 6 song offering. I thought to askSam about his new record and use his answers as aidto illustrate some of my feelings, but when I read hisreply I thought you should too. It's so descriptiveand visual, perfect to pull from and quote.
Afin d'enregistrer les compositions de sa sortie de 2022 acclamée par la critique, Alabaster DePlume a inculqué une culture de créativité en dirigeant ses ensembles dans la composition et le développement spontanés. Il en est résulté une abondance de matériel qu'il a depuis produit et arrangé, aboutissant à cette collection.La direction ici est fermement ancrée dans la performance et moins axée sur la post-production, mettant en vedette les collaborateurs incontournables de DePlume sur la scène londonienne, et accordant une place particulière au percussionniste Tom Skinner (The Smile, Sons of Kemet), à la chanteuse Momoko Gill et au percussionniste / chanteuse Donna Thompson. Le résultat est une musique brute, belle, percussive, de groupe, dans la pièce.
