 South London-raised kwes. is an award-winning producer, composer and artist who has
collaborated with Damon Albarn, Solange Knowles, Loyle Carner, Nubya Garcia, Black Coffee, Sampha, Tirzah, Selah Sue and many others.
 After eight years he returns to Warp with ‘Kinds’, an expansive, intuitive work written following the birth of his daughter, exploring the restorative power of sound and colour.
 ‘Kinds’ marks another departure for Kwes, that sees him search again for the outer reaches of music’s solar system.
 Made after a reset following a period of burnout, the record blends ambient and classical composition while rubbing up against the rougher textures of shoegaze.
 Short and tightly constructed, ‘Kinds’ embraces minimalism. As the world outside becomes noisier, this is a project that creates calm and solace - while planting a flag in yet another new frontier of  popular music.
 Clear vinyl in coloured paper inner sleeve within 3mm spine sleeve.
 Record premiered at the Barbican Conservatory (June 2025). Immersive listening installation at Tate Modern planned.
