8 Bonus Skit
Our new EP will be in stores on Saturday 1 November. The EP is titled ‘Akathisia’ and contains six brand new instrumentals with the signature Lefties style: raw, dynamic yet soulful!
With Akathisia, we return to our roots of raw instrumentals heavy with hard hitting drum breaks, groovy bass lines, chicken guitar riffs and a roaring Hammond organ. Just like our debut album Hutspot (2006) the tracks were uniquely recorded live – without overdubs – using cassette tapes and a four track recorder resulting in an EP that oozes love for funk and soul.
Title track Akathisia is an instant classic B-Boy anthem due to the powerful combination of a take-no-prisoners break beat and a catchy organ loop. By contrast, the sexy and sultry Cheyenne wouldn’t be out of place in an Italian B-movie from the ’70s. The band is going on a rampage with the unadulterated funky Burning The Cane, while the laid-back song The Waddle sounds like a lost track by The Meters. Finally, both sides of Akathisia end with two ready-to-sample bonus skits for DJs and producers.
Akathisia will be available on 12” vinyl (limited to 1.000 copies) and pre-orders are available at Rush Hour: http://www.rushhour.nl/store_detailed.php?item=79497.
The EP is also available for download in online digital music stores.
