SEED Ensemble released their first full album, Driftglass, in 2019 on the Jazz re:freshed label. The album's nomination for the 2019 Mercury Prize led to an 85% increase in sales of their album and a 102% rise in Spotify streams, according to Music Week. Kinoshi stated that the album, for which they were nominated, was a “celebration of what it means to be a young black British person”. The album was named after Samuel R. Delany’s 1971 collection of science-fiction stories. Driftglass was positively reviewed by The Guardian, who described the style as a fusion of "African, Caribbean, dance grooves and 60s Blue Note". Clash Magazine called the album "a bold record", and Kinoshi "a stellar instrumentalist". (en)
