Ardour

Ardour cover art

Crafted largely in a communal artist complex shared with Flying Lotus, Mtendere Mandowa's debut is a masterpiece of lush, organic beatmaking. The producer expertly layers fluttering harps, gentle field recordings, and softly cracking vinyl samples to create a profoundly soothing, sun-drenched interpretation of the Los Angeles instrumental hip-hop scene.
