Track Of The Day 14/3 – Skinny Pelembe

'Toy Shooter'

From Johannesburg to Doncaster, Skinny Pelembe's journey has taken him half-way across the globe.

At every step, though, he's been learning, absorbing fresh information and expanding the way he views music.

Working with Brownswood, 2018 promises much for Skinny Pelembe, including new releases, live shows, and more.

The songwriter's latest seven inch drops on March 23rd – pre-order LINK – and it's a two track affair, a fusion of influences drawn from drifting continents and differing generations.

We're able to share 'Toy Shooter' and it matches distorted elements of South African house against a slight reggae pulse, infused with those innocent choir vocals.

Wonderfully stripped down, the sonic minimalism of 'Toy Shooter' is echoed in the visuals, which focus on a retro Gameboy title.

Tune in now.

Catch Skinny Pelembe at London's Lexington on March 22nd.
