Hitting the ground running this year, Peckham boy Sam Akpro announces his debut album Evenfall with its melting pot of a title track. Nodding to the 90s with a clear influence from both the grunge and shoegaze movements, 'Evenfall' is palpably modern as Akpro's close up vocals lay soulfully atop of the immersive soundscape. As ever, the production is interesting and complex, as synths, strings and left-field electronics pull the piece into a more avant-garde space,  whilst retaining accessibility. Described by Akpro as "somewhere between a before and after space in time, where moments have passed & where events are yet to take place", it's a track that's open to interpretation with bags of psychedelic potential. The 10 track LP of the same name will arrive via ANTI- on the 28th of March, but for now, check out 'Evenfall' and its equally excellent accompanying video directed by Pedro Takahashi. -Holly Mullineaux
