Double vinyl LP pressing. Sons of Kemet is the iconoclastic mix of tenor sax, tuba and double drums. On this third studio album, they bring a genre defying approach that celebrates the restless exploration of identity within the Caribbean diaspora within the U.K. Your Queen is a Reptile was recorded in London with a host of guests spanning the breadth of the U.K. scene including jungle legend Congo Natty and poet Joshua Idehen.
"Your Queen Is A Reptile (+DL-Code)" on LP by Sons Of Kemet is a powerful, forward-thinking jazz album that fuses Caribbean rhythms, Afrobeat energy, spiritual jazz and contemporary London club culture. Propelled by a tuba-driven low end and polyrhythmic double drums, the record dismantles conventions of British jazz while paying tribute to real women who shaped history, each track dedicated to a different "queen." The LP format underlines the album's dynamic contrasts: from hypnotic grooves and chant-like themes to explosive improvisations and politically charged passages. The included download code adds flexibility, letting you enjoy the music in high quality both on your turntable and on the go. Sons Of Kemet, part of London's new jazz vanguard, are known for their intense live shows and their role in bringing UK jazz to a wider, younger audience; with highly acclaimed releases and international festival appearances, they have become one of the key names in contemporary jazz. The label Impulse is historically one of the most influential jazz imprints, associated with groundbreaking and boundary-pushing artists and albums; with "Your Queen Is A Reptile," Impulse continues its legacy of championing innovative, socially conscious jazz that defines new directions for the genre.
