FLYING VIPERS
"CUTTINGS"
LP VINYL / TAPE
|
|
Flying Vipers’ sound is of another time and place. Deeply in debt to the original Jamaican engineers of the ’70s who turned their mixing consoles into the lead instrument, the Vipers lay down steady drum & bass driven rhythms with jazz tinged melodies and post-punk attitude. Recorded and mixed on a vintage cassette 8-track in a dank basement in Waltham Massachusetts, the songs are manipulated with twists and turns of the console, saturated tape delays and exaggerated EQ until the track becomes something new. Cuttings is the Vipers first full length album, building on the foundation of The Green & Copper Tape EPs while adding more horns, vintage synths, and eccentric effects. Within its 12 instrumental tracks, Cuttings is a sonic search for meditation amidst the madness.
Purple / Orchid Vinyl limited to 200 copies.

Jamaican Shuffle Boogie / Rhythm & Blues
Italy's The Uppertones is a powerful trio of trombone, vocals, piano, & drums who pay pre-ska Jamaican rhythm & blues - fronted by Mr.T-Bone on lead vocals. Their style is rooted in 1950's Jamaica when rural mento & calypso / folk music began to mix with boogie, swing , boogaloo, and American rock n' roll - the seeds of ska. This new album has 10 toe-tappers including re-works of "Mojo Workin", "L.O.V.E.", "That's Amore", "Down In Mexico" and the title track. It's a must for fans of original ska like The Skatalites, Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Blues Busters as well as jump blues crooners Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Louis Jordan.
