Sons of Kemet paint a "thrillingly rich tapestry" with 'Black to the Future'

"Sons of Kemet have crafted a narrative that sees Black people freeing themselves from the constraints of oppression" - NME argues in favour of the fourth album by the London afro-jazz quartet (gave it 5 of 5 stars). The Skinny deems it best SOK album with "a thrillingly rich tapestry that combines passionate reflections on the meaning of black power, sharpened in particular by last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, with sonic love letters to black culture past and present". Stereogum labels it Album of the week, describing it as "riff-driven, catchy jazz, stuff that worms its way into your head before confronting you with the darker currents running through it", and going beyond the sonics - "Hutchings pulls his music through the past and the present, collapsing time to dream up a better future riff-driven, catchy jazz, stuff that worms its way into your head before confronting you with the darker currents running through it".
