Following the recent release by The Ellis Hall Group via Super Disco Edits last year (a lot of positive comments on here), we now have news of the second upcoming release from this talented group. Release notes follow below...
Release Notes
Welcome to our second release by the Talented Ellis Hall Jr and his band out of Boston from 1978. The group caught our attention a few years ago when we spotted a lengthy performance they did for a show called "Night Shift". These two songs the summer "Music , Sweet Music" and "Forward Motion" didn't make that tv show reel but we dug deep to get these cuts out for you.
"Music, Sweet Music" is such a lovely summer vibe, like a mix of the Blackbyrds and Stevie Wonder all rolled into 2:38 short but Sweeeeeettttt!!
"Forward Motion" is a much more funkier vibe which almost sounds it could be a new wave funk record! Really kicks in after the opening horn bars with rasping drums and melodies.
