Kwami embrace the dark-light binary with their debut single ‘Interplay’

There’s a murky vibe to Kwami’s debut single ‘Interplay’ - the softly creeping darkness of the encroaching winter feeding into every note.

It’s a high-glitz depiction of the night-time, stabs of grand piano that sound lifted straight from a chandelier-clad hotel foyer layered atop the pacey, clattering percussion of a 4am basement party. It’s a perfectly executed duality, stitched together with multiple vocal threads. Details are scarce on the group’s origins - they simply claim they are “not a group from Brighton,” which is either an outright lie or a poking-out tongue at the South Coast’s musical hotbed. Either which way, it seems sure that they’re destined for big city life - “I’m not looking back,” comes a pitch-shifted chorus of voices atop an electronic ebb-and-flow, and it’s that forward-thinking belief which threads right throughout this first step.
