During the pandemic shut down of 2020 we became absorbed and obsessed by one record in particular. That record, released digitally via Mexico City label N.A.A.F.I., was ‘Get Free’ by TYGAPAW, which features multidisciplinary artist Mandy Harris Williams. A complete body of work intersecting their musical and cultural roots, this is an 11-track collection of hard-hitting, cathartic energy, exploring black joy, the active dismantling of imagined limitations, and the eradication of self doubt using techno landscapes.
Upon learning that there was no plan to release the record on vinyl we started a conversation about making that happen on Mister Saturday Night Records.
Two years later and through numerous pressing delays we are honored to announce the belated release on two slabs of orange vinyl with updated art work and a limited edition hand printed poster for Bandcamp orders by Boot Boyz Biz.
