A Sufi and a Killer

The upcoming Gonja Sufi x Gaslamp Killer collaboration entitled 'A Sufi and a Killer' is fucking....killer. Which is pretty much what you would expect from the pairing of an insanely eclectic producer like Gaslamp Killer with the intriguing vocal talents of Gonja Sufi. The album is impossible to pigeonhole - it starts off with an intro called 'Bharatnatyam', and then spirals into tracks with samples torn from Indian film, 60's psychedelia and funk; sounds are undressed then distressed to the point where their hiss and crackle almost match the strained lilt of Gonja's vocals. It's a fucking gorgeous album, and I can't wait to listen to it on repeat.
'A Sufi and a Killer' drops on Warp records in early March. I'm posting two tracks with a distinctly discobb bent (read : slow jams), but I urge you to buy the record once it's out. It's worth it.
