about

As some of you may know, we lost a musical hero of ours a few weeks back. As we are both drummers, the playing of Tony Allen had an impact on both of us through our own drumming, but it also deeply influenced our approach to music as a whole.

Today we are releasing “Tony”, a different kind of tribute. Our track is built on top of Tony’s absolutely beautiful and brilliant drum take from “La Ritournelle”, by Sebastien Tellier. All the drums are Tony’s recording. Everything else is what we put on top. We don’t intend to make any profit off of this. Rather, our intent was to feel what it would be like to get to play with the genius that he was. It started as just an exercise for us, but we had such an incredible time doing it, we felt it worthy to release to all of you.

We present this as an offering of honor and remembrance to one of the most brilliant musicians that has ever walked this Earth. We hope you enjoy!
