Hollywood Party (Solo Noir album)

Next up in our House of Soul Essentials Series...

Remember that Tropical delight of a B side, “These Lonely Nights”, from that dynamically dynamite Bob & Gene picture sleeve 45? Well, it’s BACK! This time with a little love from producer extraordinaire, part time Dap-King ringer, and full time Antibalas compatriot, Victor Axelrod (AKA Ticklah) – with a little help from his Kingston trio, The Inversions.

Get the 45 in the Daptone Super Soul Super Store

With this record, The Como Mamas join forces with the boys of Menahan Street Band (billed pseudonymously here as The Radiant Rhythm Band) to lay bare the funkier side of gospel music. 

“The rhythms we all play were already right there in their vocals,” explains drummer Homer Steinweiss, “so it felt natural to lay down the grooves behind them.” Thomas “T-N-T” Brenneck, the up-and-coming producer who brought us both Menahan Street Band and Charles Bradley, presided over the collaboration, which took place in the old Dunham Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Dark, triumphant and mysterious; the new Menahan Street band 45 single "Light's Out" conjures images of hard-fighting pugilists battling it out under a bare bulb, of a matador's graceful execution of a lumbering bull, of sweat, romance and victory.  Brought in by a rollicking, almost tipsy, Hammond melody and backed by a smoky smooth guitar line, “Keep Coming Back” eventually erupts into a swanky nightlife anthem, complete with red velvet curtains and a garnished highball.
