Adrian Younge is a versatile musician who’s not constrained by limits. Fascinated by the sound of the Italian composer Ennio Morricone, Younge began to make a soundtrack for the fictional film Venice Dawn (2000), he composed himself. Eight years later he composed another soundtrack, this time for a real movie: Black Dynamite. His score was honored as a contemporary blaxploitation masterpiece,.
With his latest solo project he combines the instrumental sounds of Venice Dawn with the deep soul of Black Dynamite. The result is the LP Something About April, a heavy, dark blend of psychedelic soul, hip hop and cinematic tools. On the album you’ll find influences from King Crimson to Morricone, Portishead to The Flamingos and Wu-Tang Clan to Otis Redding.
