████ ████
████ South London-based band Soothsayers are set to ████
████ release their ninth studio album 'We Are ████
████ Many'. Held together by heavy basslines, solid ████
████ grooves, and socially and politically charged ████
████ lyrics; the album takes the listener into ████
████ different sonic spaces with elements of dub, ████
████ Afrobeat, improvisational jazz and ████
████ electronica. ████
████ ████
████ The initial steps in recording 'We Are Many' ████
████ came in January 2019 when the band's founders ████
████ - saxophonist Idris Rahman and trumpeter Robin ████
████ Hopcraft - set out on a journey to Brazil. ████
████ With executive production in the Sao Paulo ████
████ studio by renowned music journalist and author ████
████ David Katz, they hooked up with bass player ████
████ and producer Victor Rice who they'd met ████
████ sharing the bill at Freedom Sounds festival in ████
████ Cologne, Germany a year earlier. Victor ████
████ organised a session in Studio Traquitana, home ████
████ of acclaimed Brazilian band Bixiga 70, and ████
████ invited a selection of local musicians. ████
████ Percussionist and singer Ligia Kamara ████
████ contributed lyrics and melodies written in the ████
████ studio, and drummer Bruno Buarque, guitarist ████
████ Joao Erbetta and bassist Victor provided some ████
████ solid, personality-driven input. Fresh and ████
████ vital, what came out was a fascinating blend ████
████ of Soothsayers' dub and Afrobeat mixed with ████
████ distinctly Brazilian inflections. ████
████ ████
████ After arriving back in the UK, Idris and Robin ████
████ set about creating the remainder of the album ████
████ in a different, yet complimentary way, and ████
████ called on the services of Wu-Lu and Kwake at ████
████ their The Room studio in South London. Things ████
████ started to take shape very quickly, Wu-Lu and ████
████ Kwake combining Soothsayers' music with ████
████ electronic elements, while also referencing ████
████ elements of the current UK jazz scene. ████
████ ████
████ When lockdown hit in March 2020, there was ████
████ still a lot of work to do in order to complete ████
████ a full album and Robin and Idris set about ████
████ working on tracks with their musicians ████
████ remotely. Having time to consider the album as ████
████ a whole, they found strong connections between ████
████ the music recorded in Brazil and the tracks ████
████ recorded in London and they set about fusing ████
████ and combining these elements further into a ████
████ satisfying whole. ████
████ ████
████ UK based Sengalese singer Modou Toure was ████
████ enlisted to guest on one track while ████
████ percussionists Satin Singh and Maurizio ████
████ Ravalico were engaged to help affirm a sound- ████
████ world where Brazilian flavours, such as the ████
████ low-end Surdo drum, were combined with sounds ████
████ more readily associated with reggae and ████
████ Afrobeat. ████
████ ████
████ Soothsayers' three part vocal harmony is a ████
████ defining factor in this album. With strong ████
████ references to the vocal styles of reggae ████
████ legends such as The Gladiators, Mighty ████
████ Diamonds, Heptones, and Abyssinnians; it has ████
████ benefited from the long-standing friendship ████
████ between Robin, Idris and Julia Biel. Lyrics, ████
████ melodies and harmonies were presented, ████
████ discussed, explored and recorded at Idris' and ████
████ Julia's home studio in Streatham in a relaxed ████
████ and positive way, with concepts from social ████
████ and political commentary turned into powerful ████
████ songs. ████
████ ████
████ Themes cover political observations of Trump ████
████ and beyond alongside Brazil's president ████
████ Bolsanaro (Rat Race), speaking out against ████
████ increasing levels of violence from the ████
████ Brazilian government towards its native and ████
████ indigenous people (Love And Unity) and keeping ████
████ hopeful despite the impending horrors of a ████
████ no-deal Brexit (We Won't Lose Hope). ████
████ ████
████ Elsewhere they discuss striving to create ████
████ space for meditation and reflection against ████
████ the background noise of 24/7 news and social ████
████ media (Move In Silence), the daily grind (No ████
████ Sacrifice) and workers' rights (Slave), while ████
████ highlighting those that fall through the ████
████ cracks in society and end up without a ████
████ permanent address, what led to this and how ████
████ close we all are from this happening (One Step ████
████ Away). ████
████ ████
████ 'We Are Many' represents a positive and ████
████ uplifting statement in the face of challenging ████
████ times - the overriding force, power and ████
████ positivity of the music to continue forward, ████
████ pushing the boundaries of musical concepts ████
████ into the future. ████
████ ████
████ "Whilst heavy questions of life and death and ████
████ the future of our species surround us all, ████
████ music is a guide that can help us perceive the ████
████ challenges in a different way - a guide that ████
████ can help us towards a deep inner peace. If we ████
████ listen, music can help light the way. We hope ████
████ you will listen, and we hope you will ████
████ experience the joy, meditative power and ████
████ beauty in the connection of different musical ████
████ cultures that was experienced in the creation ████
████ of this album." ████
