The Illusions have announced their debut album Find Your Way, due out on Thursday, 18 June, alongside a London launch show the following evening. Co-headlined with Nathan Haines, the show will take place at EartH Hackney.

Find Your Way blends funk, jazz, soul and Afro-influenced rhythms with electronica and hip-hop influences, mixed and produced by Nathan Haines.

The lead single Juju Mellow preceded the album on 4 June, with other tracks to be released including The Stream and Slow It Down. The London show on Friday, 19 June will mark the band’s UK debut, presented as a double bill with Nathan Haines and his band, alongside a DJ set from Giles Smith.
