Mo Kolours
Texture Like Sun (One-Handed Music)
8/10
If there's one thing we'd change about this album, it's the release date. It's so blissed-out and hazy, it'd be much more suited to mid-summer than autumn.
Short and sweet at just 30 minutes, the Anglo-Mauritian singer, producer and guitarist skips through dub reggae, sun-drenched soul and tribal African beats, even including a sleepy cover of The Stranglers' 'Golden Brown'.
'A Soul's Journey' is the guitar-twanging highlight and the skits, which range from pirate radio rips to everyday questions such as "where is the salad?", inject it with a sense of reality. The release date really doesn't matter: this is an absolute stunner of an album from start to finish.
Released: 30/10/2015
