Sons of Kemet return in 2021 with their new album Black to the Future. The follow-up to 2018's Mercury Prize nominated breakout release Your Queen is a Reptile, this is their fourth record, and second on Impulse!

This release finds the UK-based quartet at their most dynamic – showcasing harmonically elegant arrangements and compositions, coupled with fierce, driving material that will be familiar to initiated fans.
Led by celebrated saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Shabaka Hutchings, Sons of Kemet are a political, U.K.-based modern jazz supergroup comprised of musicians from across the globe.
