Bleep

Nairobi producer and sound artist Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU debuts on Editions Mego with a quintessential example of Kenya’s burgeoning experimental scene. Peel is an album of ambient drone treasures in the vein of William Basinski, possessive of the same wry elegance of Huerco S.’s West Mineral Ltd. imprint. Side-long tracks ‘Wy Are You Here’, ‘Solace’ and the herculean 23-minute self-titled epic paint a sonic world all their own, full of movements ranging from smokey menace to elegant bliss.
