Other Worlds And Habitats

The Sorcerers are working with an organic, less cerebral sound than we have heard before, the rough and ready, exhausted melody of The Great Belt is bone tired and a crackly joy to hear. Abandoned Satellites is a rolling, vibe chimer, a breezy lullaby from the depths of midnight. Ancestral Machines is perhaps one of the first nods to the futuristic path The Sorcerers are working down, a chugger with crossover potential.

The Sorcerers’ Other Worlds and Habitats is a natural progression in the world they have created for themselves. Richer for shared experiences, and accepting the rise of the machines, they prove that while their journey is always going forward, there are many different paths to take.

Comprised of multi-instrumentalist and label boss, Neil Innes, drummer Joost Hendrickx, fellow multi-instrumentalist Richard Ormrod and keyboardist Johnny Richards. The Sorcerers were conceived when Ethio-jazz-inspired music was intended for release as a 7" single. garnered such a popular response that they developed the sound further before recording the debut album, The Sorcerers. Emboldened by the success of their initial venture, The Sorcerers dived deeper into the rich Ethio-inspired soundscape, crafting a truly unique identity.

The Sorcerers pay homage to the rich history and cultural significance of this influential style of music while bringing their own unique energy and perspective to the table. Albums In Search Of The Lost City Of The Monkey God and I Too Am A Stranger charted their journey so far. With the destination still unknown, their fourth LP, Other Worlds and Habitats, is the next sign on the road.
