Nala Sinephro - Endlessness

Released on Warp in September 2024, Endlessness is Nala Sinephro's second album and a significant step forward from her acclaimed debut Space 1.8, expanding her palette to include contributions from Sheila Maurice-Grey, Nubya Garcia and Morgan Simpson among others. Structured as ten numbered 'Continuum' pieces built around a single recurring arpeggio, the record blends spiritual jazz, ambient composition and modular synthesis into something that resists easy categorisation, continuing a lineage that runs back through Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders while sounding distinctly of the present moment. It was widely named among the best albums of 2024 and has helped cement Sinephro as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British jazz and electronic music alike.

Nala Sinephro is a Belgian-Caribbean composer, harpist and synthesist based in London, trained in classical harp before moving into jazz and electronic composition. She emerged from the same wave of London jazz musicians associated with Total Refreshment Centre and the scene around Brownswood and Gondwana, though her own music sits at a more meditative, electronic-leaning angle than most of her contemporaries. Endlessness builds on the acclaim of her 2021 debut Space 1.8, drawing collaborators from across London's jazz scene while retaining a distinctly solo, patient compositional voice — closer to a long-form meditation than a conventional band record.
