Club Kuru – “Before the World” (Released 21st June 2024)

Description

//Dog Holiday//

£21.99 – 1xLP

Under the leadership of jazz-trained psychedelic force Laurie Erskine, Club Kuru return with their third album Before The World after a five year hiatus. This follows the widespread acclaim of their first two albums, which included spots on the 6Music playlist, a sync on HBO’s High Maintenance, and a tour alongside Jungle. With members who also lend their talents to acclaimed acts like Moses Boyd and Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka, Club Kuru seamlessly merges inventive musicality with the ethereal allure unique to psychedelic pop.

A third album which takes Erskine back to his roots. Assembling a new band, a fresh iteration of Club Kuru, he began embracing his passion for jazz, and his thirst for live performance. New album Before The World is the result – bold, dynamic, and expressive, it blends the pop-edged psychedelic of his earlier work with a soulful and expansive appeal. Eight tracks, 45 minutes long, two sides of old fashioned vinyl – it’s pristine, finessed, and well worth exploring.
