The New Mastersounds have been performing live and making funky organic-sounding records for 25 years. Starting out in Leeds, UK, having initially appealed mainly to old-school DJs and vinyl collectors, they managed to build fan bases across the USA, Japan & Europe. The album comprises ten original instrumental tunes composed and performed at the keyboard player's studio in the heart of the English Peak District during a rainy week in July 2023. The tracks showcase the earthy essence of the band via it's signature vocabulary of uncomplicated funk, soul-jazz, classic R&B and reggae-infused grooves. In the UK selected tracks from the album will be featured on The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC 6Music. An extensive US tour is planned for Spring 2024 in support of this release.Tracklisting:A1. Down on the FarmA2. Boogaloo is DeadA3. Breakfast TA4. SmoothieA5. Two Fat Ladies (88)B1.
