Tom Misch & Yussef Days Share “LIFT OFF”; New Album Out April 24

Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes share new single “Lift Off” today, taken from their forthcoming collaborative album What Kinda Music, and have teased the new release with an official video. Alongside this, the pair announce a UK / EU tour this May, encompassing dates in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, London, and Manchester. The low-lit, instrumental “Lift Off” builds across 5 perfect minutes featuring Rocco Palladino on the bass, its jazz flecked crescendo showcasing the mastery between the trio. It reveals a different side of the record – following the release of the title track last month – and comes accompanied by a beautifully atmospheric video shot in Kiev and directed by Douglas Bernardt which perfectly captures the electric live energy between the trio.

What Kinda Music moves fluidly through sleek electronica, progressive jazz, vintage hip hop and so much more, with Misch and Dayes taking listeners on a journey that is by turns surprising and spontaneous, heady and head spinning, and nothing less than compelling – a singular vision which fuses the DNA of both musicians with spectacular results. Throughout the record, there is an utterly joyful feel of two musicians at the top of their game sparking off one another, picking up ideas and running with them – zigging where the other zags, ebbing where the other flows, with Misch producing the majority of the record and both having a hand in the overall sound and feel of the project.

What Kinda Music will be released April 24th via the legendary Blue Note Records, a label known for moving the needle of jazz through the decades. As live performers, both Misch and Dayes have garnered inimitable reputations and the forthcoming dates should be unmissable. Expect more shows to be announced soon.
