AFROCOP LIVE ON KEXP
AFROCOP LP: 2nd Pressing
Shipping now! The 2nd pressing from smooth telepathists, Seattle trio Afrocop have delivered their debut LP. As longtime Afrocop fans know, they are inveterate sonic chameleons. They’ve been honing their prodigious improv chops for over a decade on the live circuit, playing everything from corporate gigs to psychedelic-music festivals to residencies at classy Italian restaurants and wine bars, and in many spaces in-between. No matter the setting in which they flex their dynamic creativity, keyboardist Noel Brass Jr., drummer Andy Sells, and bassist Carlos Tulloss flaunt an uncanny versatility: they can beautify the background like ambient masters, or fling you into deepest, fusionoid space on a nanosecond’s notice..
New Release
VuVuVu and Alice Libertas - "Beste"
Mediterranean Funk and Turkish Psychedelia collide in this new collaborative single.
Out Now: Gel-Sol "Skyline Bonanza"
Our beloved in-house library-music magician, Ge-Sol, blesses us with a new excursion into cinematic groove: “Skyline Bonanza” b/w the equally intriguing back alley porno funk of “Pot Roast”
Funkways Series, Pt. 4 [Wax Thematique #18]
The L.B.'S - "Of August Countenance".
"..Sounds like a joint by Ethio-jazz luminary Mulatu Astatke produced by pioneering '60s producer Joe Meek. The slinky rhythm, woozy horns, Jacques Willis's spine-tingling vibraphone motif, and Tomer Zuk's serpentine organ solo cohere into a graceful journey to enchantment. Flipside "Gazing Lovingly" is suffused in a sublime nocturnal glow reminiscent of Faze-O's "Riding High" while strutting in slow-motion to a funky drummer (Polyrhythmics' Grant Schroff) who has ice in his veins."
