Recordstore Exclusive Vinyl LP, sleeve signed by Sylvern Mathurin.

Pot (Sylvern Mathurin) is St. Lucian-born, London-bred and Paris based, electronic artist, due to release his forthcoming album A Tenuous Tale Of Her on Bonobos label OUTLIER this summer. With an impressive, unique sound, his new album is written as a theatrical play, a theme which also leans into the creative direction behind his record. The first single Young Lies, taken from the album, features musician and singer, songwriter, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz. Pot has formally created remixes for the likes of Gorillaz Trans and Little Dragons Hold On.

He has had multiple previous releases including debut digital album Spiral, My Love released in 2018 on Benji B’s Deviation Music imprint followed by Waters of Praslin EP in 2019. This year he put out EP Rose in January along with latest single Pearls in August on his own label Versicolor.

Playing live, he has supported Bonobo on tour in Europe as well as singer and drummer Georgia for six dates in the UK. In 2018 he played an intimate sold out live show for Spiral, My Love album launch at Servant Jazz Quarters. Further headline shows in Paris, Brussels, Milan, Prague and more, with festival performances at The Great Escape, Park Life, All Points East and Dour. He played an incredible closing set at LA CROLE in Montreuil, France for Boiler Room in May 2019 followed by, a year later, a home session livestream for Colors x Studios.
