Bastien Keb's brand of psychedelia -- a loosely layered fusion of jazz, soul, and funk as filtered through hip-hop -- resembles the work of a studio boffin handed the keys to an experimental school's music room. Based in England, Keb is a producer, songwriter, vocalist, and musician who plays guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, trumpet, and flute, among other instruments. He made his debut in 2015 with Dinking in the Shadows of Zizou. Released on One-Handed Music, the album found an early supporter in BBC DJ Gilles Peterson. After he remixed tracks by Submotion Orchestra, Paper Tiger, Pedestrian, and Quiet Dawn, Keb appeared on the First Word label in 2017 with the grittier yet more colourful 22.02.85. After taking a small break from the music industry, Keb released The Killing of Eugene Peeps (Gearbox Records) in 2020, his third, most experimental album which was conceived as a score to an imaginary film. Acclaimed by Pitchfork and The Guardian, the music pays homage to Italian Giallo, Taxi Driver, and French New Wave cinema. Keb released his 4th solo album in 2022 titled 'Organ Rectial' featuring the single 'Pasadena'. Bastien has recently created a new project named Grandamme with friend and collaborator, Claudia Kane. The duo released their acclaimed debut 'Holy Mountain' in 2022 in partnership with London label, Def Pressé. The Only Angel I Ever Saw Wore Black is released September 8th.
