Description:
Supersonic Psychedelic Soul. Imagine if the Verve soul, if Lenny Kravitz wrote good lyrics, if James Brown, Bob Dylan, and Jane's Addiction started working together...and you're close. Musically, they channel electronified John Coltrane, Bob Marley, and Curtis Mayfield nectar into a Spiritualized - Ray Charles loving cup!
