fROOTS - Rick Sanders
Smouldering jazz from the moodiest midnight dive, wild jabbering vocals that make Little Richard quite polite, mighty soul brass, ancient dusty lyres, lonely pianos, the most convoluted time signatures ever.
Word - Nige Tassell
music dripping with sensuality and a too-humid-to-move slinkiness...resistance is futile
