Austin’s Kalu & The Electric Joint are back with a stellar new single “Garden of Eden,” which is out now and can be heard on solar-powered Sun Radio.
The track is accompanied by a stunning new music video directed, shot, and edited by Barbara FG. “Garden of Eden” is the latest in a string of singles the band has released during the pandemic and is part of a bigger body of work they’ve been working on since 2019. Kalu shares the inspiration, “‘Garden of Eden’ centers around the struggles of remaining open and vulnerable in relationships, partnerships, and life without letting past experiences negatively dictate the future, often robbing us of the gift of the present, which is now.”
Kalu & the Electric Joint blend the powers of psychedelic soul music with the driving beat of rock and roll and the ancient rhythms of Africa. Born in Nigeria, Kalu at age 18 first moved to New York before relocating to Austin, Texas, where he and JT Holt (Guitarist, Producer/Engineer) put together a stellar ensemble of players who graciously fuel and follow his deep well of eclectic influences.
Kalu & The Electric Joint have been featured numerous times at Sun Radio hosted events including Texas Radio Live and the Sun Radio Sessions and their songs can be heard on Sun Radio as a part of “The Sound Of Our Town”.
