The French-Cuban twins of Ibeyi have a new record, Ash, coming out next month. For their latest single, “Deathless”, they recruited jazz saxophonist and Kendrick Lamar collaborator Kamasi Washington—who has an album of his own coming out soon—to lace the sultry track with some vibrant, sexy squeals.
“Deathless” is a fitting title for the track, as its striking, Ed Morris-directed video conjures themes of eternal rebirth. Sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz are both one and separate across these 3+ minutes. Watch it above.
Ash is due out September 29th via XL Recordings. View the album artwork and tracklist below, as well as the dates for Ibeyi’s upcoming world tour.
