The Comet Is Coming is a London-based band that has been electrifying the music scene with their fusion of jazz, electronic music, and psychedelic rock. Formed in 2013, the trio consists of saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, known for his role in other acclaimed jazz groups such as Sons of Kemet, keyboardist Dan Leavers (also known as Danalogue), and drummer Max Hallett (aka Betamax). Their sound is a cosmic adventure, combining the improvisational energy of jazz with the rhythm and pulse of dance music, creating a unique and intoxicating blend that defies traditional genre boundaries.

The group's discography, characterized by its sci-fi aesthetics and apocalyptic themes, has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Their debut EP, "Prophecy," released in 2015, provided an exhilarating glimpse into their universe, setting the stage for later projects. In 2016, The Comet Is Coming released "Channel the Spirits," a full-length album that was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Following that, they continued to expand their galactic soundscape with releases such as "Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery," and their provocative EP "Death to the Planet." With their latest offerings, including "Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam" and singles like "TECHNICOLOUR" and "LUCID DREAMER,” The Comet Is Coming continues to cement their status as heralds of a new era in the fusion genre, combining the past, present, and future into a singular auditory experience.
