HONEST JON'S RECORDS
‘The bad influences’, from Bogota, with their third album for us: twenty-eight gorgeous variations of saudade, in a warmly acoustic, post-punk take on Tropicalismo — impromptu, snapshot and sublime.
Evoking his time with Count Ossie, four new grounation furies — hypnotic, thunderous, urgent, mystical — with dubwise repeta, funde and bass drums embedding the Light Of Saba man's t-bone classicism.
Cold-sweat compounds of art-funk, baglama high-life and horrorama; Bullion reincarnated as replicant eighties soul-boy, blue-eyed amongst his synths and metal percussion.
At its darkest and most driving. The group is clear and unanimous — this is their best yet.
Brand new recordings, this is majestic, surging, scintillating music — with swing, jump and shout, Sun Ra, Mingus and Gil Evans, Arab-Andalusian music, hip hop and New Orleans funk all coursing through.
'Hair-raisingly good... incandescent' (The Observer).
'Inventive, fresh and melodic' 4/5 (The Guardian); 'bound to be underrated... impeccably edited and segued' (The Onion); 'may be the most forward-looking music you hear all year' (Rolling Stone).
Two exclusives: Erykah Badu's irresistible do-over of the euphoric album instrumental There, with Malian synth-freak Tidiane Seck; and a dub by Mark Ernestus. Lovely silk-screened sleeve.
Three deep funk instrumentals — HBE on the opener. Sound-wise, doubly lethal, as alive as vinyl gets. Silvered, silk-screened sleeve; limited.
Entirely exclusive music, unique to this release, with a radiant silk-screened sleeve: four from The Marble Downs sessions with Will Oldham, a Scott Walker to start; and a side of unaccompanied folk singing.
Murderous MMM disco-house — sharp and succinct, witty and hedonistic — fore-grounding the soulfulness of the Tshetsha's singing. The OA is a cavernous, atmospheric, stately steppers.
