Farewell, My Friend

When Thes One's longtime music partner in People Under The Stairs died suddenly in 2021, he turned inward to create an opus on grief, loss and redemption. In this ambitious instrumental elegy, Thes One tells the story of their life together by covering Double K's favorite songs in a densely layered mosaic of jazz, beats and psychedelia. Featuring a cast of renowned musicians from around the globe [Kat 010, Headnodic, Mikhail Galkin, Paul 'Chop' Caruso and Saint Ezekiel], this final footnote is both a parting gift to the fans and a love letter to a lost friend.
