Swiss trio AMAMI are back with a new EP titled Islands, following 2021’s Soleil and 2019’s Giant. As with previous efforts, Islands reflects the diverse musical and cultural backgrounds of Raphaël Anker, Gabriel Ghebrezghi and Inès Mouzoune, who make up the project, with four songs exploring dancehall, dub, no wave and Afro-Pop, all live without sequencers or computers. In addition to the four tracks, Islands comes with four dub remixes, which saw AMAMI collaborate with dub legends Mad Professor and Vibronics from the UK, and Bernese Dub scientist Dubokaj. As the press release describes, “these bold reinterpretations honour the genre, emphasising bass, drums, and sound effects like delay and reverb, all while staying rooted in a dynamic and experimental vibe that invites dancing.”
Islands comes out on December 6th through Bongo Joe and ahead of it AMAMI have shared ‘Wrong Way”, a belter of a dynamite track with a Jamaican influence that will totally brighten up your day. The single comes with an accompanying stop-motion video directed by Swiss-Brazilian artist Luan Banzai and you can watch it now.
