“No, this is pop at its best, though not the sort of pop you would find anywhere near the charts or mainstream radio; more’s the pity. No, this is pop made from the best bits of a hundred years of musical refinement and evolution. It is a sound percolated through early jazz dance bands and post-war soul divas, political funk outfits and purveyors of conscious soul, acid-jazz revivals, and post-modern jukeboxes. And the result is both revelatory and authentic, familiar yet wonderfully fresh and forward-thinking.” - Dave Franklin
