about

Stranger To Myself originated from studying the pentatonic Ethiopean scales used in one of our major influences, the classic ethio-jazz, as recorded during the sixties and seventies.

Experimenting with the ambassel scale immediately led to mysterious and dreamy melodies, which became the blueprint for Stranger To Myself.

At the time, we had just acquired a few old combo organs, which were just screaming to be part of the song, adding some old skool vibe.

Initially, the song would feature a vibraphone, but we actually grew too fond of the provisional xylophone on the track to have it replaced.

And so, things fell into place for Stranger To Myself. Hope you’ll enjoy it.
