Two years after their debut on Berlin’s Mannequin Records, Leroy Se Meurt return with their second album, ‘Hier Pour Toujours’. Far from nostalgic, the record mirrors the bleakness of our times: history repeats itself, the future looks dark, and the duo’s fierce electronic punk is its perfect soundtrack. Drum machines set the march, synths flood the space, loops spiral to exhaustion, and vocals lead this orchestra of machines straight into the fire. Leroy Se Meurt sharpen their roots into something even more relentless—bold slogans, narrative fragments, and anthems made to be shouted together. ‘Hier Pour Toujours’ isn’t any more optimistic than their debut—but it still insists on belief. The end hasn’t come yet, and maybe, just maybe, there’s still light waiting on the other side.

Ajomasé is the groundbreaking debut album by legendary Nigerian percussionist Gasper Lawal. Originally released in 1980 on his own label CAP, Strut are proud to now bring this unique album back to the racks. Lawal’s style was forged through decades of high-level percussion work with the likes of Stephen Stills, Barbra Streisand, George Clinton & Funkadelic, Manfred Mann, Alexis Korner, Vangelis and Ginger Baker’s Air Force band. Dissatisfied with existing genre labels and production norms, Lawal began recording his own album in 1976 at Vangelis’ own studio in London’s Marble Arch before switching to long, drawn-out night shifts at Surrey Sound Studios, using downtime between The Police’s sessions for Outlandos D’Amour. Lawal meticulously self-produced, composed, and overdubbed the album over four years, assembling an elite group of musicians from both Nigeria and the UK. The instruments used were often hand-built, including a powerful one-of-a-kind drum carved deep in the Nigerian bush. “This music is not about trends, about what is commercial or a “sound” of a particular moment,” explains Lawal, “it is about music to be felt, that gives pleasure. It is nurturing and meditative.”
