Sudan Archives

Of all of the artists that i've missed at SXSW for whatever reason, missing out on Sudan Archives at SXSW 2018 ranks up there with the ones i regret the most.  The LA artist makes a kind of soulful, experimental, neo-classical style of R&B.  It's really quite something.  And now she's got a full-length record heading our way in November on Stones Throw.  Check out "Confessions" below and pre-order the "Athena" LP here.

Sudan Archives - Nont For Sale

I'm still kicking myself for not catching LA artist Sudan Archives when she was here for SXSW.  And her new single "Nont For You" just piles on the regret.  A smoky, airy R&B jam full of dreamy vocals, slinky beats, and plucked violin strings that appear out of the ether.  This is thick sonic haze at its finest, completely and utterly intoxicating.  And holy shit, that is some amazing single cover art.  Listen to the song below, get it here, and be sure to grab the upcoming "Sink" EP from Stones Throw in May.

Sudan Archives

I really would like to catch the enigmatic Sudan Archives at some point this week, but my schedule and the demands of children who expect to be picked up from school/day care are making it very difficult to do so.  And man, that's a goddamn tragedy, because the LA based violinist/vocalist makes a groovy and enchanting mix of classical and experimental electronica infused with R&B and West African rhythms.  Listen to the haunting and hypnotic "Water" below, get it here from Stones Throw, and cross you fingers for a full length sometime in the near future.
