Native Dancer has been played on NTS in shows including Perpetual Sound w/ Fred P, featured first on 4 May 2015. Songs played include Currents, Big Blue and Seven Of Swords.

Following the success of EP Vol.I, Native Dancer are back with EP Vol.II. These 3 brand new songs are the next installment in a highly personalized and imaginative soundworld. With references to electro-pop, hip-hop and trip-hop, soul and jazz, Native Dancer have drawn comparisons to Hiatus Kaiyote, The Cinematic Orchestra and Me’Shell Ndegocello; making a name for themselves as a trailblazing band known for their beautifully produced releases, displaying a powerful combination of slick production and virtuosic playing; and an exciting, risk-taking, live experience.

In a world gripped with fear, this is a soundworld that refuses boarders and genre classification, promoting unity and a deeper level of understanding of ourselves and our relationship to the earth.

Drawn together by keyboardist Sam Crowe (Cinematic Orchestra, Matthew Herbert, Rosie Lowe), bass player Jonathan Harvey (Ethan Johns, Bill Laurence, Cinematic Orchestra) and vocalist Frida Touray (Lianne La Havas), the band have established themselves as one of the freshest live acts to come out of the London creative music scene in recent memory.

EP Vol.I was supported by key taste makers including Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music and many blogs and international stations, being described by Stamp The Wax as “The new troubadours of psychedelic-soul”.

In 2015 they performed many of their own shows including Gaeta Jazz Festival in Italy and some key support slots including Village Underground opening for Liv Warfield (Prince) and RichMix opening for Mark Guiliana’s (David Bowie) Beat Music.

EP Vol.II is 3 new songs that speak of the struggles of the human condition; love and compassion, the nature of death and passing through this temporary incarnation we call ‘life’.

The music was all produced and recorded at Native Dancer’s studio in East London, which is the creative and experimental sound-lab for their work.

After finding success in Japan with EP Vol.I, they are releasing EP Vol.I and II as a double disc in Japan on Japanese label Inpartmaint and self releasing EP Vol.II worldwide, in April.

Expect beat driven songs with soulful vocals, searching lyrics and glitchy, trip-hopy, psychedelic, soundscapes that will take you on a multi-dimensional journey.
