Black Salt (Blue) [Colored Vinyl]

'Black Salt' is the second album from Kiioto, formed by Mercury Music Prize-nominated singer/songwriter Lou Rhodes (former lead vocalist and co-founder of Lamb) and award-winning songwriter and pianist Rohan Heath). Their debut album, 'As Dust We Rise', was released in 2024 to critical acclaim.Stylistically 'Black Salt' leans further into jazz, broken beat, and soul textures than the debut, with references as diverse as Carole King, Khruangbin, and Alice Coltrane. The resulting album is impossible to define by genre, but is fused by the unique interplay of Heath's melodic sensibilities and Rhodes' inimitable voice.Written primarily in Kiioto's home studio in North London, 'Black Salt' features guest appearances from a melting pot of musicians, notably guitarist Hawi Gondwe (Amy Winehouse), double-bassist Andy Hamill (4 Hero, Carleen Anderson), drummer Mykey Wilson (Corrine Bailey Rae), and even some impromptu guitar by the one and only David Arnold.Tracklisting:A1.
