SPIT/SWALLOW

TRACKLISTING: A1. Spit/Swallow B1. Toy Shooter PRIVATE LISTEN LINK: https://soundcloud.com/brownswood/sets/skinny-pelembe-spit-swallow-7/s-kb8ie OVERVIEW: Having recently signed to Brownswood Recordings, announced via new track ˜I™ll Be On Your Mind™, Skinny Pelembe lines up his first single proper for the London imprint. ˜Spit / Swallow™ spans pastoral pop, psychedelic textures and hip-hop-tipped, chopped and spliced guitar, interlacings samples with rolling drum breaks and echoed falsettos. B-side ˜Toy Shooter™ follows in similar fashion, bridging psych-rock exaltation with beat-head, synth-jamming production. Born in Johannesburg and raised in Doncaster, Skinny Pelembe is based in London. ˜I™ll Be On Your Mind™ has been receiving radio support from Lauren Laverne on 6 Music, Huw Stevens on Radio 1, Jamz Supernova on 1xtra and Tom Ravenscroft on 6 Music, with previous single ˜Seven Year Curse™ picking up airplay on Benji B on Radio 1 and Gilles Peterson on 6 Music. Peterson has shepherded his rise, first through his Future Bubblers programme for new artists, followed by his inclusion on legendary compilation series Brownswood Bubblers. He™s been profiled by Pigeons & Planes and Clash, and ˜Seven Year Curse™ was supported in record shops like Rough Trade, Sounds of the Universe, Phonica and Sister Ray.
