Baba Ali has always felt the need to define his own identity.
It's a quest that has taken him across oceans, perpetually seeking to uncover, to search out and incorporate new influences.
New EP 'Nomad' is the summation of this search, wrapping different styles, different genres into one neat whole.
It's a work of real promise, with Baba Ali's entirely unique approach fusing electronics to soul, organic instrumentation to machine abstraction.
'Otherside' airs first on Clash, and the incredible musicality is matched to a languid, downbeat tone.
Introspective and meditative, the flashes of electric guitar underpin Baba Ali's pervasive, questing vocal.
Tune in now.
