Close But Not Quite has been unveiled today (12 May)
After sharing teasers earlier this year in March, the new collaborative project Everything Is Recorded – helmed by XL Recordings boss Richard Russell – has unveiled the debut EP, Close But Not Quite. Recorded at Russell’s west London studio, The Copper House, the project has linked up with a number of established artists with new talent.
Opening track Close But Not Quite features vocals from Sampha, while Early This Morning sees Giggs lay down some bars to a recontextualisation of Gil Scott-Heron’s Me And The Devil. Other collaborators include Nigerian-born London-based artist Obongjayar, Warren Ellis – who’s previously worked with Nick Cave – Infinite, Mela Murder, Green Gartside, Tic and Baluji Shrivastav.
