Kiioto Live Aboard the Golden Hinde

A London concert by Kiioto, the duo of Lou Rhodes and Rohan Heath, drawing on their second album, Black Salt, staged aboard The Golden Hinde.

Kiioto is the collaboration between Lou Rhodes, a singer-songwriter nominated for the Mercury Music Prize who was previously lead vocalist and a co-founder of Lamb, and Rohan Heath, an award-winning songwriter and pianist. Their debut, As Dust We Rise, received critical acclaim. The second album, Black Salt, blends jazz, broken beat and soul.

The songs on the record address modern relationships, the pull of social media, parenthood, heritage, loss and humanity's place in the world. The arrangements are spare, with reference points including Carole King, Khruangbin and Alice Coltrane. Largely written in the duo's North London home studio, the album is independently released on their own label and features guitarist Hawi Gondwe, double-bassist Andy Hamill, drummer Mykey Wilson and composer David Arnold.

The performance takes place aboard The Golden Hinde, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
