Eddington Again

Symbolic numerology, the chameleonic layering of identities and voices, and a paradigm-dissolving approach to genre have shaped Eddington Again’s creativity from the start. The unique sensibility of the artist’s alternative pop and leftfield soul is now crystallised in their album debut with !K7 Records, Naomi9, which they present as the “third rendition” of themself.

Having quickly arrived in the world on the ninth day of the ninth month weighing 9lb 9oz, Eddington Again’s early life was marked by significant repetitions and serendipitous codes. However, the deep matrilineal influence of their Southern California family environment was in constant conflict with expectations of masculinity imposed on them by the outside world. A young Eddington Again soon intuited the need for an alter ego - who they named Damani - to bridge these realities. Several interconnected creative pursuits in adulthood led them organically to a recording career at the beginning of the 2010s, most notably in the acclaimed psychedelic hip-hop and R&B outfits Oddience and PRJCTS, both of which became fixtures of the Los Angeles music scene. After establishing the solo project Eddington Again in 2015, this singular identity allowed them to re-explore their beginnings, resulting in their standout self-released EPs Damani3 and Damani6. Now as they freely explore hidden knowledge, suppressed intimacy, evocative storytelling and musical shape-shifting, Eddington Again says: “the next evolution of Damani3 and Damani6 is Naomi9.”

Edington Again is supported by Saint Precious and the opening DJ set is played by Neana.
