Introducing: Moors

• 29th Oct 2014

MOORS is the new project from the rising duo of Keith Stanfield, star of recent Independent Spirit Award-nominated drama movie Short Term 12, and producer HH.

Out now on Haven Sounds, an emerging record label based in Los Angeles and Toronto, their self-titled EP features four tracks of intense, doom driven hip hop draped over staccato beats and haunting harmonics. The futuristic ‘Fire’ stands out as a cut-throat slice of gloomy, poetic brilliance that marks this duo out as ones to watch for us.

Stanfield is set to play the young Snoop Dogg in Straight Outta Compton and civil rights activist Jimmie Lee Jackson in the Martin Luther King, Jr. biopic Selma.

After Moors remixed James Vincent McMorrow’s track “Cavalier,” he personally invited the duo to join him on tour in the US this November, so we reckon there’s going to plenty more heat around this lot very soon.

McMorrow and Moors have also collaborated on a brand new track titled “New Romancers,” set to appear on the deluxe version of McMorrows’s Post Tropical, out November 11 via Vagrant and Dine Alone Records.
