Building on the success of his 2018 album, Honest Lee is back with the first single off of his forthcoming 2021 album. In between playing shows and running the Growroom Productions label, Lee has found time to record some fresh new music. Not one to let off steam or coast during the pandemic, Honest Lee has some brand new funk for the heads.
On his latest, Honest Lee brings analog breakbeat for the dance floor, with fuzzy guitar leads, Rhodes stabs and a heavy kick, propelling you to get up and move. Pushing the track over the edge are thunderous tom drum solos from the Terrapin Family Band's drummer, and Honest Lee's cohort in The Harry Bells' percussion section, Nathan Graham.
The title refers to the unofficial drink of Turkey, raki, also known as Lion's Milk and the mood reflecting those late, hot nights, finishing nightcaps after an evening of good food and conversation. Enjoy a sweet taste of the next full length Honest Lee album set to be released early 2021.
