Alfa Mist announces new album ‘Variables,’ shares two new songs

Having released one of 2021's best jazz albums with Bring Backs, genre-blurring UK musician Alfa Mist has now announced a new album, Variables, due April 21 via ANTI- (pre-order). Two singles are out now; "4th Feb (Stay Awake)" is a blissful jazz-rap song powered by Alfa's own rapping, and "BC" is a thrilling, seven-and-a-half-minute jazz odyssey. Both are very promising, and you can hear both below. The album also features guest vocals from Alfa's longtime bassist Kaya Thomas-Dyke and South African folk singer Bongeziwe Mabandla.

Alfa Mist has also announced tour dates in both the UK/Europe and the US, including two NYC shows: April 29 at Music Hall of Williamsburg and April 30 at Racket. All dates are listed below.
