With Panda Bear and Sudan Archives, Teebs releases a stunning album, blending abstract hip hop and sumptuous instrumentals. A talented artist with a unique style, Teebs paints with his music a picture that corresponds to his parallel activities as a producer and painter. His ideas seem to emerge from a luminous ether, although sometimes masked by clouds, deeply absorbing the listener's attention. Lush, revealing different layers, his music speaks to the mind as much as to the body, with a sense of hyper-reality that leaves us both curious, relaxed, and perplexed. Using his creativity as a weapon to navigate all periods of his life, both good and bad, Teebs showcases his paintings in galleries, tours around the world with the Brainfeeder galaxy, and seeks every day to express the beauty and chaos of our world through his art. Far from imposed trends and cycles, in a cosmic relationship with his art and future generations. After a five-year wait, Teebs (aka Mtendere Mandowa) is finally preparing to release a new album (Anicca) that features many guests, including Panda Bear (Animal Collective) and Sudan Archives. The album merges Teebs' bright and fluid productions with the colorful contributions of his guests. Recorded at home, the album highlights his favorite tools - Roland SP-404 sampler, Mellotron M4000D synthesizer, Seprewa (Ghanaian harp-lute), guitar, and laptop. An enchanting success, blending instrumentals reminiscent of Ryuichi Sakamoto and beat music worthy of the finest hours of hip hop in Los Angeles!
