Nostalgia 77 - When The Lights Gone (2026) [Hi-Res]

Long-running jazz, soul, and funk project Nostalgia 77 is the work of British producer, composer and guitarist Benedic Lamdin. Since 2022, he has been blending vintage gear, techniques and sounds with hip-hop production and electronic synths on the likes of Try Thoughts. When The Light's Gone is a reflective set of simple, primary-coloured songs after a period away from personal releases (we hear another album is also planned this year). This one reunites him with Berlin-based singer Yosa, whose earlier collaborations with Nostalgia 77 were hugely popular. Their chemistry is close, with Lamdin describing the record as carrying a "dreamlike, childlike" quality influenced by the transition into family life. A lovely, luminous listen.
