Deep, mellow soul here. Two tracks taken from their debut LP, “Nothin
Is Easy”. These two were remixed and remastered for Colemine by
Leroi Conroy. Fans of Lee Fields, Aloe Blacc, or Leon Bridges will
dig the vibes here for sure.
Ephemerals are a London based soul family featuring an allstar cast
of musicians. Founded by Hillman Mondegreen, writer-producer and
founder member for Hannah Williams and The Tastemakers, he felt
instantly that Franglo-American singer Wolfgang Valbrun was the
perfect voice to deliver a debut album that is fresh and soulful and will
command some serious attention. Wolf, originally from New York but
who has been living in Paris since the age of 14, only began singing
in public three years ago, but has quickly established himself as a
continental star with his band Marvellous. Next is Damian, who also
plays trumpet for Kalakuta Millionaires and is in Hillman’s afrobeat
supergroup Keke Mokoro. Then Char, who plays baritone sax for
Dakhla, a band with a unique afrobeat/gypsy styling. Also James,
who plays organ for Hannah Williams, and Jimi Needles, who has
been Hillman’s drummer of choice since they met at university in
2008. Rob Jones was the final piece of the puzzle, recommended
to Hillman by WahWah45’s boss Dom Servini. He played every
instrument on the epic Gene Dudley Group album and was brought
in to play bass with his trademark tone and casual style. |
