about

Jehst 'One Horse Town' feat. Confucius MC & Eva Lazarus
(W. Shields, W. Carabine-Glean, E. Lazarus, M. Waithe)
Produced by Taharka
Additional production by Jehst & Sonnyjim
Additional keyboards by Matt Wilmot
Additional vocals by CW Jones
Mixed by Kill Money
Mastered by Walter Coelho

Philosophical, reflective, optimistic: Jehst as the mayor of 'One Horse Town' is the drifter returning to a higher plain. Warmth and a sense of community rise from brass band arrangements, mutedly yet poignantly playing to an innocently glacial melody, and a gospel-style choir whose quiet resonance achieves inner peace.

After typical navigation through the maze of his mind, Jehst's findings are once again verified by Confucius MC (CoN & KwAkE, Old Paradice), and the effervescent Eva Lazarus (Mungo’s Hi Fi, Swindle, The Nextmen) provides soulful salvation to see the track through.

Production comes from Trinidad-based producer Taharka, the engineer behind the boards for Birmingham rapper Sonnyjim’s recently launched We Buy Gold label and production house.

LYRICS

Sun comes down on sacred stones
Players take their leave
One horse town I made my home
Save a place for me

(Jehst)
We were getting high out on the Peckham Rye
When you were just a twinkle in your parents eye
Don’t you know that Joni Mitchell never lied
Put up a parking lot - they paving over paradise
We just need to take some time to analyse
The theory is to find out where your talent lies
Provide the children with an exit sign
You might score the winning goal in extra time
Jesus let me testify I’m finding strength
This could be the difference between life and death
From the fire to the frying pan - The Iron Chef
The poet pledging my devotion ‘til my dying breath

One horse town I made my home
Save a place for me

(Confucius MC)
Was on my way to check the High Plains on Rye Lane
Caught in the migraine
Old Paradice on my back - doin’ it my way
Rappers get side chained - an old story
The player now becomes the casualty of a dice game
From the alcoves of art where we shout quotes
And shout ghosts
Gatekeeper’s standing at the outpost
Just another outcast - free stacking
Rolling round trying to plug in to the detachment
Drifting off of my own accord
In the city where they hold the sword
Bowing to the overlord
Begging and bowing just to hold some more
Find me twirling up a potent draw
Evolving like Bulbasaur
Trying to walk through the open door
But getting caught up in the rope-a-dope trope
I guess I’m open more
Dust my kicks on the highest sands
Rolling bang in the highest lands
Believe me cuz - time is planned

Sun comes down on sacred stones
Players take their leave
One horse town I made my home
Save a place for me

(Eva Lazarus)
A breed ah impositions I was on a mission
Slow it down? You must be kiddin’
Looking back I see I revelled in a challenge
Looking down I see how far I come - I manage
To make a diamond from the earth
The pressure made this kinda pearl
Sometimes I miss the old world
Where I felt unobserved
An antisocial girl
One hand I count
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - my real girls
Yeah they’re the real ones - that’s my word
Yeah that’s my word
I see the future and it’s so bright
Build up my fam and keep us all tight
I’m looking back and I see real fight
Not to go gentle in to that goodnight
And hear the R.I.P. because my foresight
Told me 4:20 - we gon’ be alright
I sip this cup of tea and read the leaves right
And in a few short years when you can read (and) write
I hope you raise your voice and get the words right

Sun comes down on sacred stones
Players take their leave
One horse town I made my home
Save a place for me

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

supported by 7 fans who also own “One Horse Town feat. Confucius MC & Eva Lazarus”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

UNTITLED (Rise)
by SAULT

supported by 7 fans who also own “One Horse Town feat. Confucius MC & Eva Lazarus”

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
