Off the back of releasing her stunning debut album, The River Doesn’t Like Strangers last year on Shabaka Hutchings’ new label Native Rebel Recordings, Saxophonist Chelsea Carmichael today drops new track ‘All We Know’ as part of her new EP of the same name out March 4th

Now cemented as a fan favourite, ‘All We Know’ finds itself the obvious next step in Chelsea’s journey, and comes accompanied on the new EP by an incredible remix from Shakbaka Hutchings, and the stunning ‘Fractals’ – an unheard from the original album sessions that was held back.

Chelsea will play a special London headline show at Amazing Grace, next door to The Shard, which will be the first chance to see her mesmerising live show since the release of the album. An opportunity not to be missed. Tickets here on Dice FM.

 

 

Chelsea has also been announced as part of a BBC 6 Music Gilles Peterson 3 hour special from the New York Winter Jazz Festival this Saturday at 3.00pm where she will line up alongside live music and interviews from Ezra Collective, Yazmin Lacey, Emma-Jean Thackray and Tawiah recorded at his UK showcase at Le Poisson Rouge.

Engineered at London’s iconic RAK studios by Will Purton and recorded with Eddie Hick (Sons of Kemet), Dave Okumu (The Invisible) and Tom Herbert (The Invisible; Polar Bear),

The River Doesn’t Like Strangers from start to finish is jazz mastery at its finest. Featuring tracks such as the tantalising ‘There Is You and You’, the mystical ‘Bone & Soil’ and Chelsea’s explosive debut track, ‘Myriad’ the record was met with critical acclaim with Record Collector describing it as “an astonishing tour de force”, Music Week declaring Chelsea “ready to blow people’s minds”, Giles Peterson branding her as a “radical next wave agitator”, and The Quietus picking ‘Myriad’ out as a “gripping, freewheeling tornado of a track”.

Originally from Warrington, Chelsea is a Conservatoire-trained musician who has already been part of a Mercury-nominated band – she played on SEED Ensemble’s 2019 Driftglass – and currently plays with Theon Cross, the Neue Grafik Ensemble and arranges for her own Chelsea Carmichael Ensemble. Following a performance together in May 2019 at the Total Refreshment Centre-affiliated Church of Sound with South African band The Brother Moves, Shabaka noted Chelsea’s potential and invited her to record the first release on the new label.

Chelsea Carmichael is an undeniably exciting talent. Watch this space.
