Madeline v. F. Can't wait to get to know this new album from Kutiman -- psychedelic soul from Israel. Like golden dustmotes floating in a warm sunbeam. Favorite track: My Everything (Featuring Dekel).

vikjha I sampled the first track and bought the album right away. It has been on repeat at my house ever since. Kutiman's diverse musical influences shine through. There are so many delicious grooves to get lost in. Try "A Day Off" and tell me I'm wrong! Favorite track: A Day Off.

Boaz Murad Trippy psych-funk, classic soul, futuristic r&b and global influences,
all these and more in this great album Favorite track: Always Be Alone (Featuring Dekel).

Ilya Rasskazov huge album!! Kuti at his best Favorite track: My Everything (Featuring Dekel).

Dumitrascu Marius Because it is the only album I listen on repeat for days but only 4 tracks are available before release! Favorite track: My Everything (Featuring Dekel).

Marcel Bagus „My Everything“ is already my "summer hit 2022"!
I suddenly heard the song on the car radio.
Didn't know "Kutiman" at all before. I immediately bought the album “Open” and “6am”. Great!

about

Revered composer, producer, filmmaker and multi-instrumental polymath, Kutiman, presents his sixth studio album, Open, a crunchy twelve-track psych-pop trip around classic soul and Middle Eastern psychedelia, forthcoming on Siyal Music.

Returning to the city, post-nine years in isolation and deep immersion in musical and self study, Kutiman connects the dots between Can, Arthur Verocai & Tame Impala, delivering a fresh reimagining of his eclectic groove-laced sound whilst reconnecting with society, embracing his roots and welcoming the unknown.

As comfortable scoring orchestral suites as he is bridging sounds from Fela-inspired horn arrangements, electric era-Miles funk, classical Indian ragas, or even chopping environmental field recordings, Kutiman’s journey to his latest full-length, Open is a story of complete absorption in sonic fusions. Having achieved worldwide acclaim for his role in Netflix music documentary, Presenting Princess Shaw, alongside his Thru You projects, where he wrote new songs editing together clips of amateur musicians on YouTube, reaching ten million views in only two weeks (voted Top 50 Inventions of 2009 by Time Magazine), Kutiman has applied an impeccable attention to detail over a series of releases from 2016’s inventive “scuzzy desert epic” (The Guardian) 6am, 2020’s psychedelic feast, Wachaga and 2021’s Surface Currents, a 45min ambient outing of weightless piano drones and modular synths.

Kutiman aka Ophir Kutiel moved to Tel Aviv at seventeen to study jazz at the prestigious Rimon music college, but it was a convenience store job where he first heard Parliament, Amon Tobin, trip-hop and jungle that provided his greatest musical education, and the foundation of his latest album Open.

Moving back to the centre of the country, after nine remote years living in a kibbutz in the Negev Desert, Kutiman (who plays every instrument on the record) set out to balance the laid back psych funk present throughout his catalogue, with multi-instrumental techniques he acquired whilst studying in isolation. The result is a twelve-track commute into the depths of Kuti’s diverse influence base.

The uptempo Vanishing Point opens proceedings, recalling both Abstract Orchestra’s 2017 Dilla tribute and lounge OST/library music flips of Tosca and DJ Vadim fame. My Everything introduces prominent guest, frequent Kutiman collaborator, old friend and lead singer of Funk’N’Stein, Dekel aka Elran Dekel, whose crooning pop vocals coupled with jangly acoustic guitar riffs (Love You Tomorrow, Need To Forget), tip to contemporary indie giants Michael Kiwanuka and Johnny Marr. A Day Off passes through Anatolian psych and Khruangbin-esque Thai funk whilst the afrobeat/jazz fusion, Confetti pays tribute to Kutiman’s other namesake, Fela Kuti. The Tuareg-leaning guitar lines on Canoe travel across the Saharan desert easterly towards Sudan and Ethiopia by the end, whilst meditative and Coltrane-adjacent album closer Ripples provides a final moment of reflection from a truly global excursion of soundscapes.

As the final horn line fades into the sonic distance, Kutiman leaves listeners with little indicators as to where his path might go next. Whether that path leads him abroad or home, one thing is certain, Kutiman’s gift for infectious polyrhythmic grooves will continue onwards, upwards and outwards.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
