A personal, autobiographical song for Olith Ratego. A mother leaves home when the son is very young and she never returns. In the innocence of his young and tender age, the son thinks she had just gone to the market. In this song he is asking his mother: “Those who go to the market to buy food, don’t they ever return home?“

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

An immersive collagework of wavy synths and hallucinatory vocals, with nods toward the frenetic rhythms of Afrobeat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2019
