This initial sampler features the disco-soul of "Temperature's Rising" (ft. Nathaniel Short), the hypnotic instrumental jazz-funk of "Silent City," and the soul-stirring "Sealed With A Loving Kiss" (feat. Scarlett Fae).

As a purely self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Yarni (aka Benjamin Harris) continues to draw praise from influential voices, with Gilles Peterson describing his work as "lovely," Luke Una calling it "a beautiful gift to the world," and huge support from BBC Radio 6's Huey Morgan & Deb Grant who declared “Pigna” as "chef's kiss delicious." His previous release "Boro" landed on Spotify's Class of 2021 for Fresh Finds UK and Ireland.

The sampler opens with "Temperature's Rising," where Nathaniel Short's soulful vocals meet Yarni's first-ever string quartet arrangement, creating a perfect blend of classic disco and modern production. "Silent City," an instrumental piece inspired by Malta's ancient city of Mdina, features James Atashroo's evocative trumpet work against a backdrop of psychedelic funk. The collection closes with "Sealed With A Loving Kiss", evolving from a simple two-chord idea first recorded 24 years ago into a sweeping epic that channels both Fleetwood Mac's timeless songcraft and LCD Soundsystem's building intensity.

This trio of tracks offers the first comprehensive glimpse into "Anemoia's" exploration of nostalgia and time, demonstrating Yarni's ability to craft authentic, innovative music across multiple genres while maintaining a coherent artistic vision. From string-laden disco to epic soul and jazz-funk instrumentals, each track reveals a new facet of this ambitious project.
