New Benguela album ‘Black Southeaster’ out July 23rd.

As a longtime fan of the band, i am proud to announce the release of Benguela’s 4th album, ‘Black Southeaster’, via Jaunted Haunts Press. This is also the band’s first new album since 2004′s SUI, coming after an extended hiatus and the improvisational trio’s return to Cape town’s live circuit in 2009. ‘Black Southeaster’ was recorded in a day at the sadly defunct SUI Studios, and then trimmed down with edits and fleshed out again with overdubs.

Black Southeaster launches on Fri the 23rd of July at the Theatre in the District, District 6, after which Benguela embark on an SA tour.
