Australian heavy funk outfit launches their new album on Tru Thought Records.

The Australian funk six piece are big funk collectors and inspired by artists such as The Meters, Mickey & the Soul Generation, Jimmy Smith and Reuben Wilson but have a contemporary Deep Funk sound too.

Their new album ‘Rawville’ still embraces the deep raw organ based funk aesthetic of their album ‘Step It Up’, but it also embraces different flavours.

‘Rawville’ is a lot more song-based than ‘Step It Up’. The album is half vocal based tunes and half instrumental. Vocals include those from label mate Alice Russell as well as vocalists Kylie Auldist, Tyra Hammond (Opens Souls), Fallon Williams and Ohmega Watts (Ubiquity).

‘Get In The Scene’, the first single from the new album was released in April, is a perfect example of the diversity of styles in their new work. The single is funk and hip hop fusion with lyrics from Ohmega Watts.
