MV4  was recorded as a live session at London’s Maida Vale Studios, which appeared on an episode of Peterson’s BBC Radio Six show.

It features keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, percussionist/producer Marijus Aleksa, singer Fatima, saxophonist Nubya Garcia, guitarist Oscar Jerome, singer/guitarist Hak Baker, and Bristol-based collective Ishmael Ensemble.

Originally due to be released as a Record Store Day album, following RSD 2020’s postponement, Peterson decided to release a limited number of copies via bandcamp.

The album follows Brownswood’s release of KOKOROKO’s self-titled EP, and Joe Armon-Jones’ Turn To Clear View – one of our favourite albums of 2019.
