Virtuoso violin, Stones-y swagger, roaring guitars, soundscapes ranging from tango to Eno, lyrics about the spiritual future and the material present, Putney based art-rocker Hani Abbasi brings his second collection of vital contemporary rock songs, entitled When in London, out into the open for the first time at his spiritual musical home of the The Half Moon.

As with his 2018 debut LP of "futuristic Britpop" The Polar Route, his second offering was recorded in Suzhou China where Abbasi was a veteran of the arts and music scene for many years.

Hani Abbasi's powerful live ensemble consists of RPO violinist Orpheus Leander, EDM/pop hybrid queen Aeteri, pianist Mark Dixon, bassist Martijn Prins and his brother Danny Abbasi (ex-Emma Pollock) on drums.

The sophomore LP's dystopian-funk lead single 'When In London', inspired by Talking Heads, 70s reggae and generation gaps, is released on 19 September with the full 10-track LP to follow shortly after.
