"Contrasting dynamics are at the heart of the show, making every cacophonous shriek and intimate breath feel all the more palpable."
@jamiewilde__ saw @SonsOfKemet's ★★★★★ final hurrah after a decade of music, at @LeithTheatre for this @edintfest

Went to see @SonsOfKemet at Leith Theatre. Didn't have room for this in my Times review, & maybe it's a weird comparison for a jazz band, but it's what I imagine it must have been like to see Black Sabbath in 1969/1970: virtuosity in the cause of relentless intensity. #EdIntFest

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'After days of stifling heat, Sons of Kemet brought an answering thunder, their own music of tension and release' – @thetimes
What a way to finish the week! The atmosphere was electric as @sonsofkemet played to a sold-out @leiththeatre last night 🎷
