OY tease new album with first single ‘A New Planet Is Born’

OY - A New Planet Is Born

We’ve been hooked on OY‘s sounds and stories since we came across their 2014 album No Problem Saloon. So much so that back then, we invited Joy Frempong and Lleluja-Ha, who make up the outfit, to curate our monthly mixtape.
So we’re pleased to know they are getting ready to release a new album called Space Diaspora. Unlike their previous album, informed by the band’s travels in Africa, Space Diaspora finds the Berlin based duo soaring into a futuristic land. “They were accidentally projected into the future, on a planet named Space Diaspora, inhabited and terraformed by former earthlings”, says the press release. “Over there, OY discovered strange customs and lifestyles, interesting political processes, artistic practices and unheard-of sounds, which inspired them to write this new album.”

Space Diaspora arrives in September via Crammed Discs but we can already get a taste of what they’ll be throwing at us with the wonderful first single ‘A New Planet Is Born’. It comes with a video made by artist collective Zeitguised. Watch it now.
