The New World vinyl

Swindle's No More Normal album from 2019 was a critically acclaimed affair that truly established the artist behind it. Now he returns with a follow-up album, The New World, which is another step up. It comes on limited clear vinyl in a nice gatefold with plenty of fine-featured guests such as Greentea Peng, Loyle Career and Ghetts. They all help lend the music a widescreen sound that takes in new world soul on 'What More,' sensuous broken beat with Maverick Sabre on 'Second Guess' and prickly hip-hop tinged beats on 'Lost', with plenty of great vocal turns from Loyle Carner, Kojey Radical and Jnr Williams. 'Blow Ya Trumpet' is the most streetwise sound with its booming grin and trap production and star turns from Ghetts.
