Sinkane<\/a>, the nom de plume of Sudanese born, New York based prolific multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab, keeps himself well busy playing with the likes of Caribou, Yeasayer, Of Montreal, Born Ruffians and Eleanor Friedberger. Sinkane also has his own brainchild project and a debut album on the way. Mars<\/em> is due out late October via DFA Records<\/a> and City Slang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming album features a stellar list of collaborators including Roberto Lange of Savath & Savathas and Helado Negro, Twin Shadow’s George Lewis Jr., Yeasayer’s Ira Wolf Tuton, members of Afrobeat band Nomo and saxophonist\/flautist Casey Benjamin a\/k\/a stutzmcgee.<\/p>\n

According to the issued press release, Mars<\/em> “is dense with deep, polyrhythmic grooves that refer as much to early 70\u2019s underground soul as it does back to Sudan, Gallab\u2019s home country. On another level, it’s a 21st century party record that acknowledges the international musical village in which we all now live”.<\/p>\n

‘Jeeper Creeper’ is one of the stunning spacey jams lifted from Mars. <\/em>Listen to it below.<\/p>\n
