\"OY<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve been hooked on OY<\/a>‘s sounds and stories since we came across their 2014 album No Problem Saloon<\/em>. So much so that back then, we invited Joy Frempong and Lleluja-Ha, who make up the outfit, to curate our monthly mixtape<\/a>.
\nSo we’re pleased to know they are getting ready to release a new album called Space Diaspora<\/em>. Unlike their previous album, informed by the band’s travels in Africa, Space Diaspora<\/em> 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.”<\/p>\n

Space Diaspora<\/em> arrives in September via Crammed Discs<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
