David Mcalmont (of Mcalmont & Butler fame) and Hifi Sean (of Soup Dragons fame) have combined to make a psychedelic soul adventure as McHIFI. Born on the eighteenth floor of a London tower block within hearing distance of the Bow bells, here is their debut single ‘Bunker To Bunker’.
Pairing elegiac soul and a tapestry of electronic backdrops, ‘Bunker to Bunker’ is an elegy to being apart, a collision of Hifi Sean’s US Dance chart topping electronica (Testify 2018), and McAlmont’s dynamic range.
“2020 is the crunch. It was supposed to be: the year that McAlmont and Hifi unveiled their musical findings from an eighteenth-floor lab experiment begun in 2017. There was something about the previous year: Brexit, Trump, and the passing of McHifi heroes David Bowie and Prince juddered the view that many had of the world, no less McHifi, who have crafted a set conscious of the times without being preachy; just present in the confounding international quake. An act of god foiled those McHIFI aspirations – for now! The album is made and is ready to fly when the new normal happens.”
