What a nice track to start my workday.  The guitar play is very much like Prince (rest in peace...you sexy MFr!).  Time for a new playlist.

Turn Lane People: Next time you’re waiting in the left turn lane, watch the variety of people in the parade of cars before you as they make their left turn. You’ll thank me. Turn Lane People is my first attempt at the Reggae genre. I guess I couldn’t help but throw a hard guitar lead in there. The contrast inspired the track name. Hope you enjoy!

Recorded, mixed and mastered by F87 using Macs running Reason Studios 13 and lots of VSTs from IK Multimedia, Native Instruments, Neural DSP, Toontrack, Waves Audio, Impact Soundworks, UVI, Arturia and more.

@stylesinblack is back with the second full-length album in the eclectic beatmaker’s discography - Mind Vacation.

‘Mind Vacation’ was crafted in northern South America over the past year after Styles initially left what was familiar in America to pursue a more open and conscious experience in the southern hemisphere, away from the everyday grind of life that so many of us are familiar with. Intending to stay for only a period of months, COVID-19 and the current
climate of the United States has seen Styles make a more permanent home in South America. This album is a reflection of the experiences, memories, and frame-of-mind garnered throughout.

As heard in the voiceover of the opening title track of the album, Mind Vacation (featuring Philos label-mate Derlee)perfectly frames the careful and intentional message behind the album:

"The stress of the streets can hold you down, you know? In this concrete jungle, you need to find a little time for meditation. So quiet your mind, and open your heart, and find your true self. The peace, the joy. The silence. Within your heart is a place of silence and supreme wisdom. When you arrive there, the whole world will be your home. Find that place."

- Styles in Black

Mind Vacation is a fun, contemplative, and welcomed summer-time mental break from the daily grind and heavy mind that many of us are experiencing currently, and offers a fresh and valuable perspective for the listener.

Right Where I Belong, the new release aptly describes just how comfortable Earphunk has become with their own sound. The new six track release sees the group playing tighter than ever, and their work with famed producer Steve Albini only underlines the band's explosive talent.

"Working with Albini was exactly what our band needed," says vocalist/guitarist Mark Hempe. "Before this album we had an entirely different approach for studio albums. Albini is concerned about recording just how it sounds so the listener almost feels like they are in the room with the band. He made us realize the importance of the take on a song as a whole. When you're recording straight to tape you really try to play the best you can with no mistakes, which elevates the overall take as a band for each track. In albums past we could flub a part and just overdub later on, so having your best take wasn't as much of a concern. I think the energy and sound of this album is the most authentic we have been able to achieve thus far in a studio endeavor."

The new album is due out on October 7th, and the band is heading out on the road for an extensive tour to get fans warmed up to the new release. They're also offering their first taste of the new album by premiering the lead single, "Moolah," exclusively via Live for Live Music. Tune into the funky new original track below.



Lead guitarist Paul Provosty weighs in on the new album and production, saying, "Recording with Steve Albini was like a dream come true. You can tell, right off the bat, his sole purpose in life is to capture the most authentic representation of a band and their music. He built his studio from scratch in Chicago and most of his clientele are independent bands such as ourselves...it shows the type of person he is and what he truly cares about.

He brought the best out in us and wasn't afraid to tell us whether a take was bad or not. We had never worked with someone as honest and direct as him, and it brought the best out in us. Right Where I Belong really represents a huge chapter in the Earphunk book and Steve helped us capture it perfectly."

The Right Where I Belong tour kicks off on August 26th, and stretches all the way through to November 12th. There's really no excuse not to catch Earphunk deliver their New Orleans-soaked progressive funkin' music. The new album is due out on October 7th.
