Club Kuru - Before The World (2024) [Hi-Res]

Club Kuru’s third album marks a striking return for the London-based psychedelic rock project after a five-year hiatus. Under the leadership of jazz-trained Laurie Erskine, the album blends pop-edged psychedelia with a newfound soulful and expansive appeal. It’s a dynamic shift in the band’s sound that also remains true to their roots.

Recorded over a brisk two weeks in Erskine’s South East London bungalow studio, the album’s creation was marked by an intense, almost urgent, creative process. With Ben Landon on mixing duties, the decision to record direct to tape imbues Before The World with a warmth and immediacy, capturing the spontaneous energy of a live performance. “Most of my favourite albums were recorded to tape,” Erskine notes.
