Knats - 「Knats」CD

In its entirety, this album is dedicated to Knats’ loved ones; Stan’s composition and recent single "Tortuga (For me Mam)" shows his love and appreciation of his Mam, while "Se7en", a darker tune, expresses his emotional relationship with his Dad, formerly "DJ Se7en". "Adaeze" is a tribute to King’s late sister, taken from a gospel folk tune, incorporating West African percussive breaks and instrumentation.

The Knats album represents many things, but most importantly that Newcastle is not to be overlooked.
