KAWALA release their debut EP ‘D.I.L.Y.D’ on June 18th through Mahogany Records.

Their compelling debut EP features hypnotic new single ‘Funky’, previous singles ‘Small Death’ & ‘Do It Like You Do’ which collectively have reached over 3.5 Million streams and new track ‘Mighty River’. It’s an incredibly strong opening gambit from the London band.

Speaking about the EP KAWALA say, “we’re more than proud to announce the release of our debut EP, ‘D.I.L.Y.D’ It’s been a long time in the making and thanks to all that have waited so patiently! We’ve thrown together your faves, and added a bonus banger for good measure. We hope you all love it as much as we enjoyed making it. ”

Over the course of the six months since the release of the EP’s first single – ‘Small Death’ – KAWALA have picked up major support from Spotify, including four inclusions on New Music Friday UK, Summer UK Hits, Perfect Day, Indie List, Summer Indie, as well as plays at BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X and a tonne of online tastemaker support from the likes of Wonderland, DORK Magazine, CLASH, TMRW Magazine and many more.

The journey of KAWALA so far has been anything but traditional. Signed to Mahogany Records (the new venture between Mahogany Sessions and Marathon Artists), the band, led by Jim Higson (vocals) and Daniel McCarthy (guitar), came together whilst studying at Leeds College Of Music. It was only a few months before they agreed to dropout, head back to their beloved North London and start the band.

Having recently sold out their third London headline show at Omeara in April, KAWALA played two storming sets at The Great Escape, as well as appearances at Live At Leeds, Liverpool Sound City and Dot To Dot Festival.
