Atmospheric, philosophical, and subliminally smooth – Alfa Mists revelatory sophomore album solidified the pianist and producer as one of the driving forces in British jazzs new wave. Structured around illuminating samples of conversations about mental health and relationships, Alfa Mist crafted a beautifully introspective record that deftly incorporates elements of soul and hip-hop into his melancholic contemporary jazz compositions.

Led by Alfa Mists dexterous work on the keys, the complexion of Antiphons luxuriously mellow sound is strikingly shaded by the stellar playing of guitarists Jamie Leeming and Mansur Brown, drummers Gaspar Sena and Jamie Houghton, alto saxophonist Maria Medvedeva, and bassists Kaya Thomas-Dyke and Rudi Creswick, alongside a host of other talented young musicians.
