Lewisham-based artist Coby Sey has been floating on our peripheral radar for some time now. Having already drawn us in with his stunning 2017 single 'Petals Have Fallen' and numerous features on impeccable tracks including Tirzah's 'Devotion' (he's also a staple in Tirzah's live band), we're absolutely buzzing to hear his freshly announced debut album Conduit. Introduced by its atmospheric lead single 'Permeated Secrets', the LP will arrive on the 9th of September via AD 93. The single itself is unsurprisingly intriguing as heady double tracked vocals ripple disorientatingly over the icy instrumentation. Sey's lyricism is contrastingly cutting, using poetic and visceral imagery to get his message across. Contextualising the album, Sey explains: "Conduit is a statement of intent, reaffirming my dedication to transcend the tangible through music – it’s my way to continue and contribute to the musical lineage laid by those before me, locally and worldwide." Lose yourself in the surrealism of 'Permeated Secrets' now as we await the full length release. -Holly Mullineaux
