He originally came up playing in bands such as J.C. Satan, where he explored a gritty, fuzz-laden garage rock style before branching out into his own music.\n\nAs a solo artist, Arthur Satàn has developed a sound that blends ’60s-inspired psychedelic pop, baroque pop, and indie rock, drawing from influences like the Kinks, the Zombies, and other classic pop/rock acts — but filtered through a modern, introspective lens. His 2021 debut solo album, 'So Far So Good' showcased this gentler, melodically rich approach.\n\nSince then he has continued releasing music as Arthur Satàn, including albums like 'A Journey That Never Was' (2025) and various singles and EPs, combining rich arrangements with eclectic influences and often playing most instruments himself in the studio.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3622517, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3622517/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-26T10:15:51-08:00", "show": 66035, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66035/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn710104.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-5b604dca-0a3a-4a99-b301-53b54e0c734d/mbid-5b604dca-0a3a-4a99-b301-53b54e0c734d-40710033294_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn710104.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-5b604dca-0a3a-4a99-b301-53b54e0c734d/mbid-5b604dca-0a3a-4a99-b301-53b54e0c734d-40710033294_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Cannock Chase", "track_id": "999d3d77-8f73-4e5d-94e3-d13b99230c38", "recording_id": "6af3787a-c3e0-4339-9c5f-ac1e6d95be8a", "artist": "Labi Siffre", "artist_ids": [ "6838ca8e-da88-436c-a0fd-6d3a7e832f1f" ], "album": "Crying Laughing Loving Lying", "release_id": "5b604dca-0a3a-4a99-b301-53b54e0c734d", "release_group_id": "f34a6030-1365-47ef-9f45-545c7dcc927a", "labels": [ "Edsel" ], "label_ids": [ "907c3ef4-35ec-4bad-bd5b-345450ad64fa" ], "release_date": "2015-01-01", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "\"Born in 1945 to a Nigerian father and mixed-race mother who refused to “pass” as white, Claudius Afolabi Siffre was raised in west London.
