The Kings Go Forth And Conquer

Kings Go Forth: One Day

From: The Outsiders Are Back [Luaka Bop, 2010]

Holy hell. This just dropped into my inbox and shook every single January cobweb out of my head. From the upcoming Kings Go Forth’s debut album, The Outsiders Are Back, this is an absolutely fantastic slice of soulful funk. Like something transported right out of my private mind garden the track has it all -  from the relentlessly driving rhythm section, to the horns, to the soaring vocals, to the breakdown, everything clicks. Excuse the gushing but this is something a bit special indeed.

Co-founded by Lotus Land record shop owner Andy Noble and veteran singer Black Wolf the album is also going to feature artwork by Ear Fuzz favourite Mingering Mike. Talk about ticking all the right boxes.

What a way to start the weekend.
