Arun Sood

“Donn Dubh” is a challenging and exhilarating reimagining of Scots Gaelic traditions by two fearless musical cosmonauts at the top of their game. Arun Sood and Angeline Morrison’s collaborative debut calls to mind Eno and Byrne’s “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” — samples, distortion and elegiac piano channelling folk’s ancient past while forecasting its glittering future.

Arun Sood and Angeline Morrison announce Donn/Dubh, a debut collaborative album due 7 August on Real World X. Rooted in shared Hebridean heritage spanning Scotland, Jamaica and India, the twelve-track collection pulls folk melodies apart and reassembles them over bass-heavy beats, synths and drones. Lead single ‘A Rìbhinn a Bheil Cuimhn’ Agad’ and its accompanying video are out now.
