We’re only a couple of days away from the release of Remain Calm, the debut collaborative album from Mica Levi and Oliver Coates. The pair had already enticed us with the staggering first single from the album, ‘Barok Main’, and they have teased it again with another magnificent track, ‘Dolphins Climb Onto Shore For The First Time’. It comes with a video made by Leah Walker and you can watch it below.

Remain Calm is out on November 25th via Slip.

Mica Levi of Micachu and the Shapes, and experimental composer and cellist Oliver Coates are two tremendously talented musicians whose paths have crossed many times in the past. Following an impromptu jam on Mica Levi’s NTS radio show, the pair continued to improvise together in a flat in south London. Remain Calm is the fruit of this collaboration, a full-length album set for release on November 25th via Slip.

Both hailing from a classical background, Mica Levin and Oliver Coates are also “keen to blur its lines into more contemporary styles like grime, techno and drone”, described the press release. “Shades of Iannis Xenakis, Aphex Twin, Burial and Scott Walker’s film music are suggested in certain passages, but the sum of its parts are a very singular soundworld and a stunning piece of work.”

Along with the announcement comes the first staggering single from the album, ‘Barok Main’. Take a listen below.
