ABRI AND THE DREAMFLEET

NEW EP OUT NOW!

LISTEN HERE

"Pieces" follows on from where "We Fly" last left us: lost somewhere between the sand and the sea. 

Featuring four deep slices of electronic soul, all beautifully laced with Abri’s stirring vocals, ‘Pieces’ is out on 27 August through all good music platforms. 

We Fly is a soulful and organic mid-tempo LP. The album originally began life as a one-off collab between Mostyn and Adriano, and blossomed into a full-length soundtrack beautifully complemented by Abri’s stunning vocals and heartfelt lyrics. At times dark and moody, We Fly nevertheless reveals happiness and hope around every corner. 

The album includes collaborations with legendary Madagascan musician Kilema on Not Young, Only Love and Unborn, whilst Lebanese musician Elie Afif, plays bass on Want You Back and title track, We Fly. 

The album is a bold step in a new direction from Desmo Records. Whilst initially mainly exploring South American influenced sounds, Desmo has taken a new leap and jumped into a truly soulful experience.
