Manchester duo Space Afrika make music of what they term “overlapping moments” – oblique mosaics of dialogue, rhythm, texture and shadow, half-heard through a bus window on a rainy night. Honest Labour, the group’s first full-length since 2020’s hybtwibt? (Have You Been Through What I’ve Been Through?) mixtape, expands the project’s palette with strings, guitar and vocal cameos, leaning further into their fusion of ambient unrest and cosmic downtempo.
