Theon Cross is at the forefront of the thriving London jazz scene, with the gifted musician and composer expanding the sonic possibilities of tuba playing. Today, Cross - a core member of Mercury Prize-nominated outfit Sons Of Kemet - announces his new solo album, Intra-I (meaning "Within Self"), due October 29th on New Soil / Marathon. Cross also shares his bass-heavy latest single "The Spiral" featuring Afronaut Zu and Ahnanse´, and the accompanying video. It follows his previous single, "We Go Again," and both tracks are included on his forthcoming album. Intra-I is an uplifting celebration of Black music, synthesizing the diversity of his musical art and experience to deliver an essential message to a world gripped by tribulation. Across ten sonically divergent and bass-rich tracks, Intra-I explores themes of self-reliance, origins, identity and more. An exploratory and upful celebration of Afro-Diaspora Music, the album features songs that examine self-development, the importance of history and heritage and the strength in adversity shown by the first generations of post-war Caribbean immigrants to the UK. In addition to being entirely made from sounds taken from the tuba, it is his first music to feature guest vocalists adding a whole other dimension to his music: the album features Remi Graves, Shumba Maasai, Consensus and Oren Marshall, as well as Afronaut Zu and Ahnansé on "The Spiral."
