Poster/Print + Digital Album
Limited run of 50 hand-numbered linocuts of the album artwork on 37cmX19cm recycled board. These prints were lovingly created by South African activist-pracademic multimedia artist Dylan McGarry in Makhanda, Eastern Cape. Do yourself further goodness and check out some more of his work here - www.dylanmcgarry.org. Being a hand pressed artwork, each linocut print has characteristics unique to itself. Much thanks to the Carinus Art Centre for the use of their awesome space as well as their giant lino printing press.

“Lang La Ku Shona” is a traditional Shona song arranged by Bandura
“To Goulimine” is composed by Guy Buttery arranged by Bandura and Guy Buttery

The remixes by John Wizards, MISSU and James Yorkston were all completed in the privacy of their own home studios.

The live track was re-discovered on a mostly dysfunctional USB drive where, it turns out, only some of the concert was actually recorded. Thanks anonymous sound person. Captured in all it's glory straight off the board direct to low-res mono MP3 on said USB stick. Yes. It includes out of tune guitars, instrument imbalances, buzzing amplifiers, sonic peculiarities and what sounds like an audience of 20 somethings in Potchefstroom conducting their ongoing experiments with mampoer. Good times! Apparently.

The album that blew me away totally this year, opening up old wounds and comforting when needed. A strong statement fist in the air. Favorite track: Wildfires but so so many fantastic poetic lyrics and mmmmmusic from the heart to the heart ♥️ The Belgian Mad Cow

This reminds me of hanging in dank basements with musicians way better than me and just being in awe of the emotions they could pull out of listeners. Really stunning stuff, I hope it promises a lot more to come. Solvent
