Butcher Brown - Camden Session '2018

Tracks list

a quintet that plays funky, frisky music equally influenced by jam bands,
hip-hop D.J.s and 1970s fusion... Their star is on the rise. 
- New York Times 

Masters of full-on, soul-kissed, garage punk-funk and jazz grooves...
progressive rappers should be queuing out the door for their blessing.
- Mojo 

The band settles into nuanced grooves with an innate respect for the past, a
reverence for the Headhunters, Stevie Wonder, the Meters and the voodoo of the
tape machine.

Introducing Butcher Brown’s brand new direct-to-disc album, available on
Vinyl, CD, and Digital. Following on from previous release Live At The Vagabond
(2017) and Bandcamp digital exclusive AfroKuti: A Tribute To Fela (2018), Camden
Session is a snapshot of the band’s explosive energy, groove-heavy
sequences, and unrivalled togetherness. Their playing is modern and innovative,
yet contains rich echoes of Weather Report, Return to Forever, early Earth Wind
and Fire, and Zappa. 

DJ Harrison is broadly seen as the visionary in an albeit egalitarian band. His
keys provide the harmonic colours around which drummer Corey Fonville’s
(Christian Scott, Nicholas Payton) muscular delivery and bassist Andrew
Randazzo’s effortless cool pulsate. Multi-instrumentalist Marcus Tenney
on saxophone/trumpet and Morgan Burr’s guitar complete the quintet. 

Recorded at Mark Ronson’s Zelig Studios and cut live to disc at Gearbox
Records in London using an all-analogue signal path. Mixed and engineered by the
legendary Tony Platt. No edits, no overdubs.
