Lukas Akintaya - Hues (May 28, 2021 Skirl Records)

Hues is a project reflecting on the experience of moving to a new place. Arriving in New York, going through the process of re-orientating, absorbing and recalibrating, searching for a connecting line between the dots. It illuminates the journey of growing deeper roots and taking in new perspectives; a stream of thoughts at a given moment in time.
