Peckham artist Sam Akpro announces his debut album ‘Evenfall,’ out on 28th March, and drops title track

The ten-track album features the fast-tempo, sonic fan-favourite ‘Death By Entertainment’, alongside last summer’s psychedelic rock track ‘Chicago Town’. If these tracks are anything to go by, March can’t come soon enough for fans of Akpro’s searching vocals. 

Bearing the same name as the highly-anticipated album, Akpro has dropped his new single ‘Evenfall’. He described his new track as existing “somewhere between a before and after space in time, where moments have passed and where events are yet to take place.”

The new single was accompanied by a stunning video by director Pedro Takahashi. Takahashi, who has previously worked with Akpro on the MVA-nominated video for ‘Death By Entertainment’, said: “‘Evenfall‘ is a culmination of all the videos Sam and myself have collaborated on….Thematically, the video is about fading away in a city that is hard to live in. The idea is to express that if you pick out any individual in this city of millions, you’ll find that everyone has their own grand internalised life, full of hopes, fears, dreams and failures.” 

Influenced as much by Sonic Youth as J Dilla, the album pulls a vast variety of sounds into its electric orbit in its ode to the friendships and communities forged while growing up skating the streets of London. It’s one to be listened to loudly. 

Akpro’s multi-faceted band fuses together shoegazey guitars and an urgent, foot-stomping beat. Featuring guitarists Cameron Jacobs and Joshua Lee, Luke Chin-Joseph on bass and Kyle Creaton on drums, as well as Taylor Devenny on the sampler and keys. Co-production comes from frequent collaborator Shrink.

Debut album ‘Evenfall’ is out on the 28th March 2025 via Anti-.
