Peckham, London-born alchemist Sam Akpro announced his debut album, Evenfall, ahead of a March 28th release on ANTI-.

Launching alongside news of the album was its lead single and title track “Evenfall” a perfect example of the towering world-building and audible chemistry at the heart of Akpro’s magnum opus. Fusing shoegaze-tinged guitars, an insistent beat and Akpro’s searching vocal, it deserves to be a staple of night bus headphones for years to come. He describes it as existing “somewhere between a before and after space in time, where moments have passed & where events are yet to take place.”

Speaking on the video, Takahashi offers: “‘Evenfall’ is a culmination of all the videos Sam and myself have collaborated on. Thematically, the video is about fading away in a city that is hard to live in. The idea is to express that if you pick out any individual in this city of millions, you’ll find that everyone has their own grand internalised life, full of hopes, fears, dreams and failures.”
