Laughter, distances, coincidences,
Sedatives, narcotics, empty cries, insatiable curiosities
The concreteness of existence is mimetic to a body without organs
The burden of others’ suffering and the destructiveness of history on our shoulders,
Shallow exhaustions, obscene connections
Threadbare promises spilling over into words from the pages of history
Disharmonious, discordant shadows. No harmony, no concord.

Kit Sebastian is a duo formed in London by Kit Martin and Merve Erdem, spread between Turkey and France. Their music is a meeting point of different genres from Anatolian Psychedelia and Brazilian Tropicalia to 60’s European pop and American jazz.
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
