Espresso Sabrina Carpenter 736 entries in 27 charts
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last month Nala Sinephro announced that her much anticipated new album, Endlessness, will be released on September 6 by Warp Records. Today she has followed up by sharing the first piece of music to be taken from the album in the form of album opener 'Continuum 1'.
Endlessness is a deep dive into the cycles of existence. The 45-minute album delicately spans 10 tracks with a continuous arpeggio playing throughout, creating an expansive, mesmerizing celebration of life cycles and rebirth. Following Sinephro's critically acclaimed debut album Space 1.8, Endlessness further elevates her as a transcendent and multi-dimensional composer, beautifully morphing jazz, orchestral, and electronic music.
Performing on the album are Sheila Maurice-Grey, Morgan Simpson, James Mollison, Lyle Barton, Nubya Garcia, Natcyet Wakili, and Dwayne Kilvington, joined by Orchestrate's 21 string players. Sinephro's deftly balanced production, arrangement, and engineering let the musicians shine with only light-touch effects, bridging the immediate and identifiable with the beyond.
An enticing entry point and roadmap for the album, 'Continuum 1' features the loose and subtle drums of Morgan Simpson as well as James Mollison's saxophone which gives a sense of embodiment to the listener as we are guided into the ether. Small, tender touches from Sinephro, like synths that seem to exclaim a wondrous "squee", glimpse intimacy of the album, which she described as an audio diary of her 25th and 26th years of life.
Sinephro also recently announced that she will perform at London's Barbican Hall on October 18. This follows Sinephro's highly anticipated, first-ever performances in the U.S. In late July Sinephro and her band played a series of triumphant sold out shows including at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago ("an intense, thought-provoking performance" said the Chicago Sun-Times), an official Festival after hours show at Constellation, as well as Los Angeles at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and New York at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church.
The album will be available on black 2LP vinyl with d-side etching as well as CD.

"An ambient jazz classic" - The Guardian
"A benchmark in ambient jazz featuring outstanding players and delicately woven arrangements" - Top40-Charts
'Best New Music' - Pitchfork
"Sinephro's spaces not only feel full of life, they're built with the very sounds of it, too, reminding us not to take it for granted" - Resident Advisor 'RA Recommends'
"Music so vast could feel lonely, but the sense of smallness one feels listening to Nala's music is humbling and reassuring; the magnitudes of beauty we can create are unbound" - Jazzwise
"What sticks with Space 1.8 is the focus of its vision: precise like mathematics but imbued with a rich cosmic breadth" - 9/10 Uncut
"Very few records have this capacity to make you temporarily fearless, but on Space 1.8, Sinephro harnesses the power of sound to move and heal the listener in ways that are real, and expansive" - 9/10 Loud and Quiet
"A joyous and deeply restorative debut album" - The Observer 'One To Watch'
"Nala Sinephro's debut album exists inn the wider universe, a milky way of keys, harp strings, saxophone and modular synth" - DJ
