Kaleidoscopic Visions Vinyl
Tom Skinner opens up a vibrant, shape-shifting world on Kaleidoscopic Visions, a debut that pulses with rhythmic curiosity and jazz-rooted exploration.
Released on vinyl in 2025, this first solo outing from the Sons of Kemet drummer sees Skinner stepping into the spotlight as both composer and bandleader. Drawing from London’s ever-evolving jazz scene, he assembles a fluid ensemble that leans into improvisation, texture, and groove with a distinctly modern sensibility.
Tracks like Voices of the Past and Bishara unfold with hypnotic repetition and layered percussion, while The Journey and Quiet as It’s Kept drift between ambient space and tightly coiled rhythmic interplay. There’s a cinematic quality to the arrangements, where horns, keys, and drums move in and out of focus like shifting light, always guided by Skinner’s intuitive sense of timing and restraint.
Pressed to vinyl, Kaleidoscopic Visions thrives in its full dynamic range, rewarding attentive listening with new details at every turn. It’s an assured and deeply expressive debut - one that positions Tom Skinner not just as a remarkable drummer, but as a visionary shaping sound in motion.
