Auntie Flo Live AV show | Guardian Global Album Of The Month | 6Music feature on Mushroom Music
One week of In My Dreams (I'm a Bird and I'm Free)... Guardian 4 star review, live show announcement and tickets on sale now. Mushroom Music featured on 6Music - Sustainability and Sound
In My Dreams (I’m a Bird and I’m Free) has been out for one week. Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting! We’ve been getting so much love, and really nice that everyone seems to have a different favourite track.
We’ll compile some of the reviews and comments later, but in the meantime the highest praise has come from The Guardian who named it their Global Album Of The Month! Read the review here:
“A joyous ride through Kenyan and Goan heritage. Brian d’Souza’s genre-crossing curiosity takes him from propulsive disco to nursery-rhyme melodies and Tiësto-worthy trance.
D’Souza centres his genre-crossing curiosities on his own Kenyan and Goan heritage, producing his most personal and cohesive record to date.
Recorded over five years across Kenya, New Zealand, India, Brazil and beyond, the 10 tracks on the album are expansive in scope but only run to a slight 35 minutes. The result makes for a dense and detailed listening experience. While opener Nightjar features poet Joshua Idehen expounding on the album’s theme of musical migration over ambient synths, the record soon veers, into propulsive Kenyan disco (Green City), Turkish nursery rhyme melodies (Çatlak Patlak), Brazilian berimbau (Freedom of Birds) and Korean traditional flute (Sandpiper).
D’Souza has a great knack for blending dancefloor rhythms with unexpected production flourishes…”
