Often miscast as torchbearers of the Acid Jazz scene of the early ‘90s, Galliano were in fact always far more multifaceted and complex. Both of their time and ahead of it, they created a collage of poetry, astral jazz, cosmic funk, conscious soul, dub reggae and dance floor rhythms.
Born out of London’s underground clubs and warehouse parties of the mid to late 80s, Galliano came from a culture that spanned music, dance, fashion, art, design, and the written word.
Three decades on, Galliano are back with a new LP ‘Halfway Somewhere‘. While age brings its inevitable distractions and distance from the cutting edge of youth, their genius in gathering fragments of club culture, documenting the urban environment, and addressing broader global concerns is as sharp as ever.
