More Info:

Duval Timothy releases a highly requested repress of his 2018 EP '2 Sim' on split color heavyweight vinyl via Carrying Colour Records.The project's title is taken from a Krio phrase that refers to Sierra Leoneans of dual nationality as mobile phones that have two sim cards. The project was recorded in Sierra Leone and the UK and features Duval's piano compositions married with field recordings made in and around the landscape of the capital city Freetown as well as interviews with Duval's family and friends who explore their relationship to the idea of being a '2 Sim'.'Botany Rd' creates a musical soundscape through a walk with friends starting from the urban center of Freetown up into the hills through small farming communities.'First Rain' takes a field recording of the rain arriving at Duval's home in Freetown at the end of the dry season, with the weather cycle echoing Duval's cycle of migration between the UK and West-Africa.Tracklisting:A1. 2 Sim A2. Botany Rd B1. All Things B2. First Rain
