Dangerous Currents by Black Folks Don't Swim?

"Dangerous Currents" was recorded live in the Summer of 2023 at the Pocket, an intimate venue in the heart of Washington D.C.

Performing for a sold out audience in their hometown, this recording begins to capture the dynamic, compelling, and lively sonic experimentation Black Folks Don't Swim? has been noted for since their emergence in 2018.

Featuring classics like "By Now" from their debut album "For the Source", this release also features a previously unreleased progressive take on "Come Correct" a fan favorite from the groups catalogue of originals. Showcasing the chemistry and musicianship of this particular unit of collaborators in the collective, the group waxes poetic with meandering solo's on "Space Talk", the only cover the group performed (and imbued with their own sensibilities).

"Dangerous Currents" is the perfect album to enjoy with your full attention to introspection, or as a backdrop to a lively gathering.

A spell of time travel, like all live albums, we are excited to share a release that will allow us all to revisit, fold into, and extend this divine and fruitfully aligned grooves again and again.

Who Don't Swim?

Black Folks Don't Swim? Is a soulful Black music machine from space that must be pronounced with the upswing inflection of a question. Led by a core ensemble of Black Gender-Variant folks, their music floats through a myriad of liberating sonic traditions including Jazz, Funk, Quiet Storm, Future Soul and R&B.
