about

Andy Compton (The Rurals ) teamed up with South African musician/producer Shamrock to make a beautiful album of African tinged Deep House and Downtempo masterpieces!

Shamrock came to Bristol, UK to share his musical energy in the Peng Studio in November 2022, Jamming with Andy on the analogue synths and experimenting with new sounds and recording techniques.

The album also includes songs Shamrock and Andy started in the sun blessed land of South Africa, while Andy was on tour.

The album features guest musicians like vocalist Nekoye Ommeh from Kenya (formally know as Asali), trumpet player Kafele, from Chicago, Vocalist Irantzu, from LA, Percussionist Bongani, from Soweto, And Fender Rhodes by Rurals brother Pete Morris, from Devon.

Special thanks & love to David Lyn, who helped make this album possible!
