Last month, Mansur Brown announced the release of a new album, Rihla, and enticed us then with the first single, ‘Alone‘. Now the Brixton-born guitarist, producer, and composer has shared a second cut, ‘Faded’, and it hits with a different kind of energy. Drawing heavily from jungle and drum and bass, ‘Faded’ is driven by tightly chopped percussion and warped, pitched vocals, layered with his unmistakable melodic guitar lines. Fast-moving and intricately textured, it reveals another side to an eagerly awaited record. The single comes with an accompanying video by Greg Barnes and you can watch it below.

Rihla is out on August 1st through AMAI.
