Nairobi-raised, Berlin-based experimental artist Kabeaushé shares their latest single ‘BANGUK’ from sophomore album ‘HOLD ON TO DEER LIFE, THERE’S A BLCAK BOY BEHIND YOU!’. The full release is out 10 November on all streaming platforms via Monkeytown Records.

The third single from the 10-track album ‘HOLD ON TO DEER LIFE, THERE'S A BLCAK BOY BEHIND YOU!’, ‘BANGUK’ follows ‘THESE DISHES AIN'T GONNA DO THEMSELVES’, and ‘GO WITH GUT’ and is another unique offering from this one-of-a-kind artist. Originally made as a heart pounding score for an upcoming film, the song wasn’t initially going to be included on the album but the artist deemed it ‘too silky’ not to include. It's another raw, experimental offering that is unlike anything you have ever heard before. Receiving plaudits across the media – from Consequence of Sound, Crack, Electronic Groove, Spindle Far Out Magazine, Pan African Music, Acclaim and more – the world is starting to really starting to take notice of this incredible artist.

Recent signing to the prestigious electronic imprint Monkeytown Records, Kenyan Kabeaushé introduced themself last year with their breakthrough album ‘The Coming of Gaze’ on Nyege Nyege Tapes, a fiercely giddy pop rush of old school party hip hop up-fulness, clean sounds, gentleness, bounciness, positivity and joy. Heralding a new sound with their latest 10-track album ‘HOLD ON TO DEER LIFE, THERE'S A BLCAK BOY BEHIND YOU!’ they’re bringing a little more rawness, weirdness and rave energy, evident at Kabeaushé’s own wild performance energy shining through via their alter ego “the Shé”. There is still all of the ambitious brightness that was there all along, but also the sweat, the fierceness, the communion that global club and festival audiences have come to love in Kabeaushé shows. This is a talent of global proportions coming to maturity, and you’d better be ready for it to explode out into the world.

On the full-length project, Kabeaushé adds: “It’s dirty, it’s incessant, it’s rough around the edges and wonky. The drums are big and they’ll make you move, there’s lots of sweet layered falsettos, catchy phrases and hooks. When you listen to it, don’t try scrutinize the lyrics as if with hope to find something poetic, instead squeeze yourself into all of it, and there maybe you’ll find a little piece just for you. Don’t two step to this, Dance!. Don’t compare it to the last album you heard, or the one you’ll listen to after, this is not that and it’s not trying to be. Take it as is and you’ll discover the joy in all of it”.
