Harper Ben - Bloodline Maintenance (LP)
€29,90Quick View022 release. ”It was like I was moving forward and venturing into places I had never been before. Taking everything I’ve learned from every other record and kind of setting fire to it all and starting over,” Ben Harper says of his new album Bloodline Maintenance. ”And I knew the sounds I was hearing in my head were so unorthodox that I had to do most of it myself.” The result is a fearless and immensely soulful work largely inspired by the loss of a longtime friend and the lingering influence of a mercurial and charismatic father. Along with guitar and bass, Harper als o played the drums including an eclectic assortment of percussions. The deliberately open spaces and accented beats influenced in large part by the exploratory rhythms of the hip-hop he has loved since his teens. The result is less a direct influence than the applying of hip-hop’s inventiveness to longstanding paradigms of soul, blues and jazz, spinning it all forward into a reconfiguration of a new black Americana. ”If this is my Mule Variations, then hallelujah.” Harper says, referencing the groundbreaking Tom Waits record. Bloodline Maintenance is both a political and personally revealing work. It is soul music, but never a stylistic tribute to some bygone era. The sound and words are essential and undeniably timely. Harper acknowledges that much of the exploration on the record was fueled by an awareness of time. ”It’s this notion of mortality and the people we have lost. The way I hoped it would all turn out and the realization that, as beautiful as it all can be, perhaps none of it matters beyond these moments.”

Million Dollar Tones - Come On! (LP)
€27,50Quick ViewMillion Dollar Tones is a great eight piece group, very together, driven by a super hammer-line drum beat, producing really authentic recreations of rocking r&b and well-writen originals in a genuine Southern, all-black rock and roll style. The singer, Antti Pajula, is a revelation. He doesn’t try to ape Little Richard, but he uses his own voice to superb effect remodeling the music that was wonderful then, and is wonderful now.
The listener is immediately won over by hot guitar licks followed by meaty baritone and tenor sax rock ’n’ roll intersposed in the genuine rocking piano. Million Dollar Tones are not trying to be a copy, they are making fabulous rocking music and they are having a wonderful time doing it.Release Date/julkaisupäivä: 29.4.2022 -

€17,00Quick ViewIt’s easy to write some words about a new album when you are a fan of the band and you know the hard work they put on having it ready.

Teskey Brothers - Half Mile Harvest (ltd, gatefold) (LP)
€29,00Quick ViewDebut album (2017) from the Australian band. Sam and Josh Teskey discovered American soul music of the 1960’s via their parents’ record collection and were immediately taken. As teenagers, the two brothers jammed night after night in the bungalow behind their family home on the outskirts of Melbourne, devouring the R&B songbook and absorbing the tricks of the blues trade. In their obsession, the pair became accomplished players and soon began writing originals; a process which came naturally to both of them. Finally, The Teskey Brothers released their debut album Half Mile Harvest. The record, self-produced at their home studio in Warrandyte, captures the essence of old school soul that the four have grown to love and know over years of musical friendship. The songs are beautifully written, showcasing the musicianship at hand and dripping with warm melodious hooks as natural and alive as anything that came out of Stax-era Memphis.
