Multidisciplinary afrofuturist artist Nwando announces the forthcoming release of her debut album ‘The Swan' via Accidental on 22nd July, following on from the dizzyingly experimental heights of 2021 singles, ‘I Seduce’, and ‘The Swan’.

The project brings together Nwando’s left-field electronic experiments, cross-border musical influences, radical live art practices, and interests in Black Atlantic ritual cultures and speculative fiction.

Alongside the album release, Nwando has been invited to curate a weekend of ‘Black Fabulation’ at The Southbank Centre in London, from 22-24 July. 

New single ‘Myrrha’ will be out on 13th July and features samples by Tom Richards made on his analogue DIY synths, and saxophones by regular collaborator and the album’s co-producer Hugh Jones (Crewdson).
