A graduate of Gilles Peterson’s Future Bubblers project, Pelembe will be joined by four collaborators, each of whom bring varied textures to his hazy, low-slung production, and psych-tinged guitar playing.

You can listen to new track ‘Not Your Friend Not Your Enemy’ featuring jazz vocalist Yazmin Lacey below.

The follow up to Spit / Swallow, which was released earlier this year, Sleep More, Make More Friends also features South London trio Hejira, British/Portuguese singer and songwriter Bernardo, and jazz trumpeter Emma-Jean Thackray, whose Ley Lines EP was released on The Vinyl Factory earlier this year.
