Dreaming is Dead Now: Vinyl LP

A multi-talented artist from Doncaster combines sun - kissed California folk with the darker side of UK dance heritage. Skinny Pelembe's debut album, “Dreaming Is Dead Now”, offers a unique musical blend. It boils down dub echo, hip - hop lyricism, and heavy guitar fuzz into a captivating musical concoction. The Johannesburg - born artist reflects on grief, heartache, unfulfilled dreams, and new opportunities in post - recession Britain. Memories and observations are skillfully woven together, mixing California's sunny folk with the murky UK dance lineage. Co - produced by Malcolm Catto, the album has a distinct flavor. Tight rhythms are paired with fuzzy overtures, and the title track comes from a studio session with a drum & bass duo. Skinny Pelembe, first discovered through the Future Bubblers programme, has gained praise from many. His previous singles got heavy rotation on BBC 6 Music's A - List, and he's performed with many well - known acts.
