This is a bit of an unexpected move from Sam Shepherd, assembling a full line up of musicians instead of electronics. Recorded and mixed at Abbey Road studios the team of musicians play violin, viola, cello, flute, sax, trumpet, guitar, drums and Sam himself on synths and Fender Rhodes. Expect to hear super slick production and jazzy downtempo soulful grooves. The type of thing you can imagine Giles Peterson salivating over or a move by Carl Craig or latter day 4hero. Not really the type of thing I get down to but it's extremely well done. The man is a super talent.
