DISCONNECT

Description

Heavyweight twins Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) come together for Disconnect, a powerful exploration of terror, hope, and deep sound that blends deep dub with Kamaru's voice, ambient sensibilities, and negative space. Kevin Martin discovered the Kenyan ambient musician KMRU "while watching the 2020 short documentary Under The Bridge," he tells us. After that, Martin delved into Kamaru's records and found not only a kindred spirit in the skillful exploration of sound space but also a fan of The Bug. Thus began a relationship of mutual respect, initially nurtured through Instagram DMs and a shared admiration for each other's work, which ultimately led to an invitation from Kevin to Joseph to collaborate on a new album.
