BASTIEN KEB - Only Angel I Ever Saw Wore Black LP

Bastien Keb’s fifth studio album delivers a masterclass in cinematic soul and melancholic funk. The fifteen tracks blend live instrumentation with ambient synth skits to create a surrealist, hallucinogenic folk journey. Eschewing external samples, the record maintains a gritty honesty through lo-fi recording techniques and multi-instrumental arrangements. Listeners will find a haunting narrative of failed romance woven into dusty, experimental beats and jazz-inflected textures. This release is essential for those seeking the junction of Gainsbourg-esque trip-hop and modern psychedelic soul.
