Kent based duo Thandii make beautifully retro alt-soul (fans of Jungle will love them). Through a trip to Manila and following Thandii member Graham Godfrey’s Filipino heritage, the pair have teamed up with Philippines drum legend Jun Regalado to make an exciting new album due out 11th September on Sama Sama Records. Single ‘Coco Okayo’ gives us a taste…
‘Coco Okayo’ is dripping with 70’s style disco soul. Think time-warping synths and keys, infectious bongo rhythms and Thandii singer Jess Berry’s ethereal vocals floating sky high.
Thandii talks about the meaning behind single:
“Getting down; dancing as self-soothing. In a post-truth time when it’s hard to tell what’s real it’s about coming to terms with this new reality; making peace with the now.”
– Thandii
Thandii is a return to real, feel-good dancefloor music. This new album era connects multi-continent artists to cook up something comforting yet completely fresh. Look out for more this year.
