Alcides Simoes, AKA Nazar, has revealed a new alias, Yaera.
Following on from the release of last year’s album, Guerilla, on Hyperdub, as well as a selection of self-released material under his primary alias, Simoes has debuted his new moniker with a track, ‘Elavoko 1’, which you can watch a video for above.
Simoes described his new alias as a necessary creation to prepare himself "for a post-Guerilla journey, centring myself before anything else." The new track’s title of ‘Elavoko 1’, he says, "comes from Umbundu and means ‘hope’."
‘Elavoko 1’ is out now.
