November kicked off with the much anticipated debut album release from Leeds based quartet Fold. They’ve conquered our ears a while back, with their unique confluence of sounds from jazz and hip-hop to funk and psychedelic rock, merged with their social consciousness. Fold use vocal samples from speeches from Martin Luther King, Fannie Lou Hamer and Michael C Ruppert, to name but a few, as a way of conveying their messages which resonate deeply with contemporary issues and struggles.

“These are truths that we piece together from fragments as we move through life. These are truths that need bringing to light in order for us to collectively overcome obstacles.”

Today sees the release of their new excellent single ‘She’, with words written and performed by Brooklyn’s 6% poet. Listen to it below and straight after watch the video for Fold’s previous single ‘A Victim’s Mentality’.

In other related news, and in support of the album, Fold have embarked on a UK tour which culminates this Saturday with a sold out show at Surya in London.

Fold is out now and available on vinyl, CD and digitally through bandcamp.
