Ball and Socket

Elijah Minnelli returns to Accidental Meetings, following stand out records for FatCat Records, ZamZam and his own BCC imprint.

Minnelli has a unique dub-wise take, fusing eastern and western folk influences with cumbia and earthy drones, cumulating in his own distinct sonic world and his ever evolving lore. Within Ball and Socket, Minnelli pushes his own vocals to the forefront for the first time, compared to the more accustomed background approach previously. The record also sees a collaboration with Osaka's Kiki Hitomi (Waqwaq Kingdom, ex King Midas Sound) on Unkind, the two intertwining throughout. Fans of the pairing will be happy when it gets a re-up halfway through on the Discomix.

Ball and Socket is a personal record on many a level for Minnelli, and the result ends up as one of his most beautiful body of works yet. It finds it's home on the Bristol imprint Accidental Meetings, four years after his first outing on the label.

Limited run 10” vinyl, arrives in risograph printed cover, with additional insert.
