Louis Culture spent some valuable time away from the spotlight following the release of his spirited track "Dream" late last year. His latest double A-side track "7am" shines a light on exactly what he's been up to and he's called on West London native Bawo to trade a few stories.

For the first instalment, YAMA//SATO lays down a chopped piano motif packed with snug percussions. Against that backdrop, we witness a seamless transaction of stories about Louis and Bawo's hustle to survive and invest in their craft, laced with some light bravado.

"7am B-Side" then floats into ambient territory, experimenting with similar sounds to artists like Loraine James. Glitchy effects are tucked behind sustained electric piano chords to which Culture morphs and bends his original lyrics.

Take both versions of "7am" for a spin below.

Updated on August 26: the official video for "7am" has now landed.
