A Thousand Hands (feat. Brother Portrait)
Releasing digitally on October 8th via Brownswood Recordings

Wonky Logic shares 'A Thousand Hands' feat. Brother Portrait, the second single from his debut album Mek Do & Mend, out 11th November on Brownswood Recordings. Wonky Logic (AKA Dwayne Kilvington) has spent two decades as one of the UK's most trusted collaborators, recording and performing with Nala Sinephro, Yussef Dayes, Nightmares On Wax, Shabaka Hutchings and Emma-Jean Thackray, and working as musical director for Eddie Chacon, John Carroll Kirby and I.G Culture's LCSM. Following the release of first single ‘Strange Attractor’, 'A Thousand Hands' is about the family foundation in which the seed of creativity first germinates.

Amid ethereal chord stabs, Brother Portrait's unmistakable dulcet vocals drift over a low-slung groove that keeps shifting under him, while woozy synth lines ebb and flow overhead. The song basks in memory, sending thanks to the family, friends, mentors and collaborators whose influence often goes unseen. It carries the album's central idea: nobody is self-made, and every achievement is in some way a collective one.

On his contribution to the track, Brother Portrait says: "A thousand hands emerged from the memory and image of aunties, uncles & cousins, whether blood related or not, filling the house and the years of my childhood in Lambeth. Though many years and miles have passed since then, there's a sense of grounding, familiarity and home in the presence of those I still see. Each person is foundational to who I am today. When Wonky shared the idea and process for the album I wanted to find a way to reflect it in my experience. I'm proud to be part of the London chapter of the story!"

With the pair speaking a shared creative language, the track came together quickly, as Kilvington explains: "I sent [Brother Portrait] the beat just before Christmas. He understood the assignment, as I knew he would, and did some incredible writing. He came round to my house in January and recorded everything in one night."
