Released at the start of November, ‘From The Volt, One’ is previewed by the lush, warm grooves of ‘Summer Nights’, released on September 5th. Originally written around the time of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Press On’ in 2007, the track came about shortly after Lack of Afro (aka Adam Gibbons) had burst onto the scene with the ferocious cut & paste funk of ‘Wait A Minute’, his debut single that was one of the hottest 12” singles on the UK funk scene at the time.

Since then, he has gone onto release eight albums as Lack of Afro, expanding on his early influences to incorporate jazz, hip hop, rock, disco and beyond, as well collaborating with musicians like Joss Stone, Wax & Herbal T, Mica Miller, DJ Yoda, Too Many T’s and many more.

“In 18 years of releasing music and being an artist, I realised that there were a fair few tracks that had kind of slipped through the net. I guess this is inevitable given how many albums and projects I've been a part of over the years. Either the tracks in question haven't been released, or they didn't get the proper release that they deserved at the time.”

One of those tracks is the previously unreleased ‘Summer Nights’, a blissed-out instrumental with trademark, cinematic swirls and tight grooves that wouldn’t sound out of place on a beach in Ibiza with the sun setting overhead.

“'Summer Nights' is actually the oldest track on here by quite some distance and was one of the very first tracks I wrote after deciding to take music seriously. For whatever reason, it didn't quite make it onto my debut album 'Press On' - the vibe didn't quite match and consequently it was sitting on an old hard drive for over ten years before I revisited it (and then another five!) since it was completed.”

Last year saw Lack of Afro return triumphantly with his eighth album ‘Square One’, with the lead single, ‘Loving Arms’, finding it’s place on the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist. Off the back of that success, Lack of Afro has his sights firmly set on a return to the stage, with a 17 date UK tour this November and intimate warm up show this Friday (September 6th) at Albert’s Shed in Shrewsbury.
