When Black Country, New Road burst onto the scene with their debut LP ‘For The First Time’ in 2021 they were already hard to pin down, with their sound blending post-punk, art-rock, chamber-pop and jazz. Quickly following it up with ‘Ants From Up There’ the following year, they threw another curveball by parting ways with vocalist Isaac Wood, leaving need for another recalibration.

Between 2020 and 2022, Backxwash struck the perfect balance in terms of announcing her artistry. Ashanti Mutinta put out brash records so full of personality and emotion that they were impossible to ignore, but ‘Only Dust Remains’ shows that there was still plenty of headroom for the rapper to grow into. Here she is an artist, and a person, who understands what they’re about in a manner we haven’t seen before.
