lord of the isles: acceptance

Kimochi Sound marks its 50th release by continuing to build on a legacy of grounded yet forward-thinking, personal and unpredictable, emotive and adventurous releases. Wrapping up the year is something very special from Scotland's Lord Of The Isles, a veteran of the venerable Firecracker / Unthank and host of his own Dusk Delay & DFSANT imprints. On this timeless album he flits between a rich array of spicy moods and warm atmospheres, from the delicate and romantic 369, to cosmic dub roller Betula, to the cheeky tropicalia of Novwo, to the deeply heartfelt title track. Lord of the Isles is a masterfully expressive musician and Acceptance makes it sound effortless.
