about

April wrote “CONTINENTAL DRIFT” about a codependent relationship she couldn’t let go of while processing the recent suicide of her best friend, and April and Nikki worked together to create the single you hear today.

Over three years April has taught herself to produce, while Nikki has honed the band’s visual identity. Now, IMANIGOLD has completed an EP which they will release throughout 2021— “CONTINENTAL DRIFT” is their second release.

Equal parts Tegan and Sara, Solange, and Florence and the Machine, IMANIGOLD is the soundtrack to this generation’s fight for social change. With their honest storytelling, tight yet grungy vocals, and seasoned musicianship, IMANIGOLD is Americana for 2021’s America.

Originally from Austin, Texas, Harlem-based sisters April Kae and Nikki Kae are the heartbeat of IMANIGOLD, collaborating as songwriters, vocalists, and community organizers. April plays bass and synth while Nikki plays guitar and creates the band’s visuals. IMANIGOLD is also an artist’s collective with a digital publication sharing resources and insights for community organizing and social justice.

The release of “CONTINENTAL DRIFT” is coming at a crucial moment for April and Nikki. They are both sought-after models with industry-smashing agency WeSpeak and were recently featured in She Shreds, Guitar Girl, NYLON, and Bass Player Magazine. Furthermore, April is currently going viral for her bass playing, receiving praise from Zoe Kravitz, Willow Smith, Jaden Smith, Questlove, Chaka Khan, Flea, and over ten million more on her refreshing musicianship and charming authenticity.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold on
to me
Don’t let
slight wind between

Bury me in your blankets
keep out the cold
Let skin melt together
our bodies like wax

[Chorus 1]
Lungs to lungs
breathe for me
Your eyes in mine
I don’t wanna see

[Verse 2]
Hold on
to me
Don’t cry
and we’ll be happy

build yourself a kind of home
beneath my rib cage
and call me call me
call me your own

[Chorus 2]
Lungs to lungs
breathe for me
Your eyes in mine
I don’t wanna see

I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see

[Bridge]
No air to lift me up
No continental drift to break us up
No air to fill my lungs
No continental drift

No air to lift me up
No continental drift to break us up
No air to fill my lungs
No continental drift

I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see

No continental drift
