Kista – Songs From The Sea's Edge (LP)

Introducing North Yorkshire heavy-hitter producer and graff-writer Kista with his monolithic slab of instrumental hip hop goodness; Songs From The Sea’s Edge. The album is a first for Kista, changing lane into an exclusively instrumental soundscape – a concept LP drawing on a mix of influences for him as a youth growing up. You’ll catch a glimpse of what it’s like in Kista’s mind; Sci-Fi films, hip hop and 80s arcade games being a few things that inspired his music and artwork to date.

The album is a top-to-tail expression of growing up by the sea, an eerily beautiful and hypnotically coastal, liminal journey – beats, instrumentation and samples make you feel like you’re stood on the beach, facing the sea. The stunning artwork, photography and attention to detail on the vinyl release – obi strip and the lot – is worth the wait for postage; definitely fitting for the collectors.

Songs From The Sea’s Edge is available to purchase in both digital and physical formats but honestly we’d advise getting both! Keep up to date with the latest releases and news from Soundweight Records via their Instagram – guaranteed goodness!
