Ibeyi have announced details of a new album.
The French-Cuban twins’ second full-length, ‘Ash’ will be released on 29th September via XL Recordings, preceded by new track ‘Deathless’.
“I was writing ‘Deathless’ as an anthem for everybody!” Lisa-Kaindé says. “For every minority. For everybody that feels that they are nothing, that feels small, that feels not cared about and I want them to listen to our song and for three minutes feel large, powerful, deathless. I have a huge amount of respect for people who fought for, what I think, are my rights today and if we all sing together ‘we are deathless, ’they will be living through us into a better world.”
The twelve-track release was recorded in November 2016 in London with producer Richard Russell at his studio The Copper House, and features guest spots from Kamasi Washington, Mala Rodriguez, Chilly Gonzales and Meshell Ndegeocello.
