Film', Jessica Lauren's first LP for Melt 2000 unleashes an aural journey full of sonic surprises set to both confound and delight anyone who has encountered the keyboard player in recent years.
'Film' was conceived 3 years ago as an acoustic McCoy Tyner-style piano album crossed with Latin grooves but life intervened. Drummer and producer Andrew Missingham asked her to play keys on wayward Jo-burg based genius Pops Mohamed's debut album for B&W and label owner Robert Trunz invited her to collaborate on a South African recording project. In the newly-liberated republic she encountered a host of inspirational South African musicians and the great Cuban percussionist Changuito. "I was captivated, I learnt so much", she recalls.
Red Snapper have remixed the track Uptown, and The Herbaliser have remixed Treasure Island for a vinyl only release, available now.
