Sinkane

To an extent, Sinkane is the work of one man – ex-Yeasayer member Ahmed Gallad. He plays the funky bass lines and drum parts that are swaddled in crashing cymbals. He’s the one tooting on the flute and crooning in a silky smooth falsetto. But of course live, he needs some help, and that’s when he calls on the talents of fellow former Yeasayer dude Jason Trammell on drums, jazz guitarist Mikey Freedom Hart and bassist Mike Montgomery. At Meltdown, hear them perform songs from Sinkane's latest album, 2014's ‘Mean Love’.
