Influenced by Black Coffee, Fela Kuti, Bonobo, Brenda Fassie, Nils Frahm. Azibo Clay learned to measure time by the way sunlight moved across a concrete floor. After serving 18 months in Johannesburg's 'Sun City' prison for a crime he didn't commit, he funnels that experience into a singular strain of deep-house-lounge. Using the kalimba his uncle gave him as a boy, he builds hypnotic, atmospheric tracks from the sounds of his Soweto upbringing. His music is the sound of the city at 4am—melancholic, resilient, and deeply alive.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The glass on the fifty-first floor is cold.
...Sorry, man, it's just past two.
They have air up here that doesn't smell of coal smoke.
Smells like a promise they won't ever make to you.

[Chorus]
This pressure makes a fault line through the city.
But I've still got a red dust heart.
This pressure makes a fault line right through me.
But I've still got a red dust heart.

[Verse 2]
I saw my own shoes on their marble floor.
Felt like fossils from a world they'll never see.
She said, "The garden boy is getting slow these days."
...and looked right past the jacaranda tree.

[Bridge]
This whole city's built on a seam of gold.
But we're the granite they have to break through.

[Outro]
Anyway. I'm coming home.
Tell Ma I'll see the sun rise.
