The quartet's upbeat 2017 single 'Eh Ya Ye' with Southern Mali artists Trio Da Kali recently attracted fresh ears, their work with Anderson sees the group working in a cinematic orchestral mode while Anderson speaks poetic utterances along with the sounds. The accompanying video features scrolling text against a moody backdrop and is equally hypnotic and oblique, you can view it below...

'Landfall' is out Friday 16th February via Nonesuch Records.
