Mined Loves Low'S LP Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. Kofi Holmes Attivor AKA Mined is - quite literally - a man of many names. Born to a Ghanaian family in Tooting in London, this electronica newcomer, philomath and a Molecular biologist was given eight names at birth. Raised on the R&B and soul from his parents record collection, he was granted his wish to get his first "sleek, silver Casio". Putting his musical experiments on hold, Kevin went on to pursue his other passion of science at University of York and a Molecular Cell biology degree. While investigating the sonic landscapes of Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the work by artists like Spooky Black, Majical Cloudz and Foals, he started developing his own sound that embodied his philomath pursuits. Mined deals with his emotions with brutal sincerity while placing these lyrics in a sanctuary-like, pastoral sonic sphere, gravitating towards the tranquility of James Blake, Caribou and Boards of Canada. "I've always been more drawn to poignant honest music that evokes a sense of melancholy, or sadness or nostalgia", he explains. Written in his room in London, his tracks were created as a form of escapism. Partnering up with the filmmaking duo The Rest (Jungle, Little Simz) and illustrator/Stormzy collaborator Sam Adefe to visualise the crisp richness of Mined's quintessential British electronica. The intricacy of his sound, stunning visualisation and candid attitude towards songwriting makes him a compelling new name in the British electronic music scene.
