Roulette

Description

On his sixth studio release, the prolific producer, songwriter, pianist and MC Alfa Mist has created his own sci-fi universe – a vast dystopia where themes of revenge, forgiveness and redemption loom large. Over 15 tracks, Alfa explores these ideas with heady potency. Each song is a spin of the wheel – a different song and character. The musician’s signature is still there – lambent keys, intuitive groove, free-flowing jazz improvisation – but Roulette is imbued with a smoky psychedelia. An immersive listen, this album is designed ‘to feel’ on every level, says Alfa. It also contains some of his most impressive arrangements yet – see the eight-minute title track that effortlessly flips through time signatures – ‘because life’s like that’, says Mist; it’s not always linear.
