Who Is This America?

The missing piece from our back catalog, the first album recorded at Daptone studios in Bushwick NYC, foretelling of many of today's problems.

Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do
by Sons Of Kemet

Sax + Tuba + Drum set + ANOTHER Drum set? What's not to love, here? I inhaled the Sons Of Kemet discography after hearing Shabaka Hutchings sit in with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, where he blew the house away with this one solo. This band is a great vehicle for his playing: tuba and double-drums provide ample energy but don't occupy the same sonic space, letting him shine. "Play Mass" feels like an obvious choice, but when it hits that refrain it re-wires my brain a bit.

Another one of my favorite AA titles. Snaky, jazzy melodies played over funky rhythms. One of those albums you won't even realize how often you've been playing it.
