The fourth collection of broadly imaginative and highly collaborative Carlos Nio & Friends music released on International Anthem since 2021. ‘Placenta’ is announced on the 1st solar return of Moss Nio, of whom Carlos and his partner Annelise are Earth parents. Their experience of pregnancy, labor and delivery were all profoundly impactful for Carlos. Becoming a father again (a whole 25 years after the birth of Azul Nio, who has become a regular artistic collaborator for Carlos) he felt total Inspiration for this set of recordings, and hence it is perhaps the most conceptually-grounded Carlos Nio & Friends album we’ve yet to present-fully connected to the spirit of family, birth, and ‘how we get here’.
