Kaleidoscopic Visions (Indies Exclusive Yellow Vinyl LP)

The London drummer-composer known and loved for their work in Sons of Kemet and The Smile returns with his second solo album. Split into two halves, Kaleidoscopic Visions moves from flowing, guitar-led instrumentals performed by his Bishara band (with contributions from Portishead’s Adrian Utley) to a B-Side that explores soul, dub, and spoken word. - Flying Out

Drummer-composer Tom Skinner returns with Kaleidoscopic Visions, his second solo album, via Brownswood Recordings and International Anthem.

Kaleidoscopic Visions unfolds across two distinct sonic landscapes. Side A presents entirely instrumental compositions performed by Skinner's live Bishara band—bassist Tom Herbert, cellist Kareem Dayes, and Robert Stillman and Chelsea Carmichael on various woodwinds and reeds—with electric guitar on two tracks courtesy of Portishead's Adrian Utley. A drummer-composer bringing his wealth of experience to bear on the role of bandleader, Skinner composed primarily on guitar, embracing the freedom that came with writing on his secondary instrument.
