Rather than take a well-deserved break after a U.S. festival tour, Leeds U.K.
funk quartet the New Mastersounds flew to Tomillo, Texas Sonic Ranch, a
residential neighborhood studio located near the border between the States and
Mexico. Deciding they wanted to append their near-constant instrumental output
with vocals -- that have primarily occurred on stages rather than in the studio
-- they flew in Rhianna Freckles Kenny to collaborate in the writing, arranging,
and recording process. Cut in just over a week, Breaks from the Border reflects
the bubbling, energetically infectious sounds of the New Mastersounds at their
best, while adding depth and dimension to some beautifully breezy, elastic,
harmonically savvy vocals that never manage to get in the way of the quartets
knotty, rave-up funky grooves. All four members harmonize on opener Take What
You Need, which merely highlights their backbeat-driven Meters-influenced funk
with an into-the-red bassline groove led by Pete Shand. They pick up the tempo
with Run the Gauntlet, featuring a smoking B-3 solo by Joe Tatton. The knotty
breaks by kit man Simon Allen fuel the shimmering group vocals on On the Border,
while the finger-popping dialogue between the bassline and Eddie Roberts jazz
guitar wrangling on Freckles accounts for one of the finest moments on the disc.
The burning Afro-funk at the heart of Walk in These Shoes reveals the quartet at
full rhythm burn, even with the four-part harmonies adding a breezy, humid
element to the mix. Roberts guitar break is one of the best on any New
Mastersounds studio effort. Josus walks on the jazz side of funk and Can You Get
It? sounds like an update of the Meters bubble and broil. Kenny takes her own
lead vocal break on the album-closing jazzer Up in the Air, with spacy
psychedelic soul grooves from the New Mastersounds. On paper, it would have
seemed that Breaks from the Border might have fallen short; as it stands,
however, this set adds another level of from-the-basement groove to the quartets
already formidable attack.~ Thom Jurek
