Ruckspin collaborator James Lowe and former Amy Winehouse backing singer Ade Omotayo began performing live shows across East London as Equals in the summer of 2013.
-Despite not having fully finished their material they caught the attention of Submotion Orchestra, snapping up a support slot their sold out gig at Koko before going on to finish their debut EP Single Soul, which was released in March this year. Blending Omotayo’s rich vocals with Lowe’s haze of colourful synth and punchy two step drum beat, each track fuses a mix of potent harmonies with finger snap percussion to create music that resonates with feeling.
We exclusively premier the video to “Pyre”, a track that uses fire as a metaphor for ambition and for the feelings of anxiety created by the standards we measure ourselves against.
Directed by Louis Ellison whose past credits include Damon Albarn, Tinie Tempah and CHVRCHES, the clip features dancer and choreographer Fabrice Omores, set among the dingy though alluring docks of East London.
