ANIMAL,DIRON - Alone (Sealed) (LP)

The debut solo album from Diron Animal, the frontman of the band Throes + The Shine. Spell-binding rhythms, bass hooks and original lyrics abound, spanning Portuguese, Kimbundu and English. On “NCrazy”, he teams up with celebrated South African rapper Spoek Mathambo to portray life in the ghetto - a place where children may roam around barefoot and food is scarce - but where a positive attitude could be the difference between breaking free or not.
