CYMANDE - RENASCENCE Vinyl LP

Legendary British band Cymande return in 2025 with their first studio album in many years. A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconic discography, Renascence picks up where their 1974 album Promised Heights left off - a spiritual and sonic follow-up, bringing a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which remains foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the US and UK.

Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got it's due back in the day; but are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves - politically aware and spiritually positive with infectious grooves. Featuring the lead single, "Chasing An Empty Dream," beckoning you back into the world of Cymande with an unforgettable grizzly bassline hook - as is their way - addictive percussion, global rhythms (inspired by their diasporic origins), layered horns and a powerful message for the world.
