Owelu Dreamhouse – Owelu Dreamhouse

A fiery blend of cinematic soul, psychedelia, and Afrobeat exploring the in-betweens of identity, music, and culture in the 21st centuryOwelu Dreamhouses debut LP is a deeply orchestrated journey through memory and imagination, led by ex-Saskwatch bandmates Nkechi Anele and Nic Ryan-Glenie, and produced by Henry Jenkins (Surprise Chef).

The band’s namesake is a play on Nkechis grandmother’s villageOwaeluin Nigeria. Growing up as a woman of color in a predominantly white Australia, Nkechi had fear and hesitation around expressing her Africanness and Nigerianess, and this album is about her journey. Both archival and contemporary, the albums DNA is laced with musical and historic references as well as a cohesive vision of the present.
