  • Description

    No Format's new release Synthetic Hearts is a synthesis of sound and style

    As a collaborative project between critically acclaimed artists, South African musicians Msaki and Tubatsi Mpho Moloi join French cellist Clément Petit on the label's experimental new release.

    WithSynthetic Hearts,Tubatsi Mpho Moloi, Msaki and Clément Petit issue an invitation to the listener and lover to journey to another place. Here, hearts, experiences, and sounds meet, shift and evolve across an inventive nine track album. Experimental, playful and complex, the project merges voices, instruments and sounds, across geographies and genres, creating sparse, yet lush atmospherics that spin on the universal themes of love. As skilled musicalshapeshifters,Synthetic Heartsmelds Msaki and Moloi's folk sensibilities with electronic elements, as Petit teases out distinct textures from his cello across the record. OnSynthetic Hearts, love, longing, confusion, sorrow, despondency and queries are opened up and negotiated in songs that vibrate with their naked, honest and tender vulnerability.
