The second EP from Mo Kolours is done and in production – the above image is actually the end credit from the video that accompanies the release – but if you want to get a sneak preview of the sounds of ‘EP2: Banana Wine’ the opening track ‘Ridda Mountian’ features on the new Brownswood compilation [...]
I did it last year and I liked it so I thought I should carry on the practice. In fact it might just inspire me to do it for other suitable projects. Maybe… As you will be able to see there was no event in January, hence the gap top left of the review. You [...]
