“Great fire will fall from the sky, the cause will appear both stupefying and marvellous. Very soon after, the earth will tremble.”
The arrival of The Comet as prophesised by Nostradamus. And the earth did tremble.
Our saviours Danalogue The Conqueror, Betamax Killer (both Soccer96) and King Shabaka (Sons Of Kemet, The Ancestors) bestowed upon us their debut album Channel The Spirits on April 1st 2016CE. From simpler times, this was a prophetic document. A celebration. The beginning of the end.
The Comet was first observed in 2013CE, its power growing with increasingly regular sightings. The debut EP Prophecy arrived in blaze of light and sound. The word spread. Whispers became shouts – “I believe”. Channel The Spirits followed. More than an album – it was a séance, a reckoning, a mission. And the powers that be took notice. And the powers that be shouted “I believe”. Album of the year lists were drawn up and The Comet received recognition from MOJO, Uncut, the Quietus, and The Line Of Best Fit. Indeed, one of the greatest honours was bestowed upon Channel The Spirits, for it was selected as a Mercury Music Prize Album of the Year.
