Star People Nation is a project described by Theo Croker himself as an intimate exploration of 'the everyday rituals of blackness'. A translation of his personal, spiritual and creative experience, the album is a self-reflective collection of powerfully passionate and boundary-busting compositions that speak to our greater, shared human existence. The album features jazz pianist ELEW on 'The Messenger', which is a great combination of a smoky blues piano with a traditional swing rhythm, locking into the pocket and showcasing Croker's mastery of the swing. Star People Nation is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on translucent blue colored vinyl. The vinyl package includes a printed innersleeve and 4-page booklet with lyrics and pictures.
