Vintage highlife, Brazilian musical psychogeography and Sufjan Stevens

Max Reinhardt presents some vintage Ghanaian highlife from Ebo Taylor and others, plus Brazilian musical psychogeography and a new track by Sufjan Stevens.

Max Reinhardt presents some vintage highlife from three giants of the genre 鈥 Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas and Uhuru Yenzu 鈥 alongside some hallucinogenic Brazilian musical psychogeography: musicians improvising on their mental impressions and images of urban landscapes.

Plus: a new track from Sufjan Stevens, released in celebration of Pride last month 鈥 composed as a personal challenge 鈥渢o write an upbeat and sincere love song without conflict, anxiety or self-deprecation.鈥

Produced by Steven Rajam for Reduced Listening.
