Cafe Paradiso: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change. Label: Transgressive Records Release Date: 4th September Love the gloopy-midnight-downtempo-pulsating-disco of lead single 'Little Feet' with further hints of this being a super late night New York's underground electronic disco record. Ltd deluxe die-cut gatefold sleeve with napkin On Cafe Paradiso, Mykki Blanco is completely reborn, trading the persona- driven theatrics of his previous releases for something more interior and exacting The record draws from the diverse, banal and yet idiosyncratic contexts of the artist's life in transit. "Chameleonic" is one way to describe the artist known as Mykki Blanco, who has played many roles through his storied career: a rapper, a poet, a magazine editor, an advocate. Perhaps "fearless" better describes him; with high profile collaborations from the likes of Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Basement Jaxx, Blood Orange, Big Freedia, Kelsey Lu, Michael Stipe, Arca and Anhoni, Mykki has been recognised as a pioneer of queer- centric hip- hop who resonates across musicians of many genres and generations. This album is Mykki at their most direct - a coherent statement with collaborator FaltyDL and a massively listenable album for fans of LCD Soundsystem and New York Punk, packaged in striking 'Napkin-covered' deluxe vinyl for a super-exclusive first run.
