Lyrically “hippiesque,” Sepalot explores natural beauty, unity, equality, and self-determination. Guest features shine: Blu delivers sharp lyricism, and Illa J surprises\u003cbr\u003ewith soulful vocals on “My Own Way.” For fans of The Avalanches, Caribou, and Madlib – Closer is lush, human, and unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSepalot is one of those rare artists whose sonic palette refuses to be boxed in. His music exists in the fertile space between multi-layered sophistication and playful unpredictability – a quality rooted in his eclectic upbringing. From skate-punk beginnings to soul all-nighters, from obsessive vinyl digging to\u003cbr\u003edeep immersion in hip-hop’s golden era, Sepalot has carried the art of sampling like a badge of honor. His beats are mosaics – meticulously pieced together fragments of sound forming an intricate whole. Beyond the studio, he’s explored these influences as DJ, producer, and live performer, leading the\u003cbr\u003eSepalot Quartet across Europe’s jazz festivals, and more recently with his experimental band Tikhet alongside Angela Aux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith “closer”, the upcoming second chapter following his 2023 album “neverlost”, Sepalot distills his broad musical world into a sample-based yet song-driven statement. The production feels warm and tactile – think needle-on-vinyl crackle meeting modern songwriting clarity. Lyrically, it’s “hippiesque” in the best\u003cbr\u003eway: themes of natural beauty, unity, democratic awareness, equality, and spiritual introspection weave through the tracklist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guest list is just as inspired: legendary wordsmith Blu delivers razor-sharp verses, while Illa J – brother of the late J Dilla – steps away from his signature rap to surprise with soulful vocals on “My Own Way.” Together, they amplify the album’s humanist core, balancing groove-heavy production with\u003cbr\u003elyrical depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFans of artists like The Avalanches, Caribou, DJ Shadow, or Madlib will find plenty to love here, but Closer carries its own unique fingerprint – a testament to Sepalot’s ability to merge hip-hop grit with songwriting grace. If “Neverlost” was a map, “Closer” is the destination: lush, thoughtful, and deeply human.\u003cbr\u003eHighly recommended for anyone ready to hold hands, open their mind, and let the beat guide them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analog Bar Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53819235270979,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/2042\/1443\/files\/162387_7667FE95_jpg.webp?v=1761199753","url":"https:\/\/shop.analogbar.ch\/products\/sepalot-closer-30-1-26","provider":"Analog Bar Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
