New Rare Groove Spectrum music out today, featuring the incredible Rita Satch on vocals!
“My Future” has been a favourite for quite a while, and is one of those Billie Eillish songs that almost feels like an instant Jazz standard, with proper harmonic interest in its chord progression - I knew I wanted to give it the Rare Groove Spectrum treatment.
In her unmistakable Soulful style Rita really makes this song her own, and it is great to finally feature her properly in the spotlight on one of my records, after working together onstage and in the studio with Menagerie and The Bamboos…She is one of the brightest jewels in the crown of our scene. Make sure you check out Rita’s new album ‘Meet Me In The Garden’.
Shout out to the endlessly talented Ross Irwin for setting the whole thing off with that heavenly
Flugelhorn solo too…Big love!
Grab “My Future” wherever you get your music online and don’t forget to pre-order Rare Groove Spectrum Vol. 3 on LP/CD/DIG, out on November 21st on Tru Thoghts Records.
Double Announcement!
“Dominoes”, is out today. Grab it now where you find your music online - and there is a 7” vinyl version on the way too!
I’m also really excited to announce that Vol. 3 in the Rare Groove Spectrum series will be released on Tru Thoughts on November 21st.
I first signed to Brighton’s finest way back in 2005 and this will be the 13th album I’ve produced for them…It’s great to be back!
You can pre-order the album on LP/CD/Digi and pre-save the album here.
As always - I hope this music finds you well, that it makes your day a little shinier…and know that I always appreciate you bringing it into your world xoxo
A band that lasts a quarter of a century doesn’t exist in a vacuum - It’s a symbiotic relationship, a reciprocal bond.
25 years ago we started making noise and you responded - and so we embarked on a wild adventure played out on stages, in studios, and through speakers all around the world.
Through this decades-long dance we’ve done our darndest to make sounds that challenge you, excite you and surprise you - to give you a meaningful musical soundtrack for all of the joy, love, ecstasy and heartbreak that life deals out.
Which is all to say that yes, we did all this, but YOU did this too…We did it together, so let’s celebrate together.
Lance xoxo
'The Bamboos Best' is out today on Impressed Recordings. Grab it at your favourite local independent music store.
