As one of Ninja Tune's longest serving members, Mr. Scruff has been in a reflective mood since his last release but now he's back and he describes his new album as "tougher, sparser, less samples, more bass. More vocals and collaborations and shorter tunes.”.

http://www.mixmag.net/music/exclusive-music/premiere-mr-scruff

With 12 tracks of new material and a 'Mr. Scruff & Friends' Takeover at Roundhouse, London set for May 31, this is the return of Mr. Scruff we've all been waiting for. We have the first spin from the new album and 'Render Me' features scattered drums, @denisjones melancholic vocals combined with heartfelt string and piano sections.

Another Superstition

When Paul Murphy released his critically acclaimed debut solo album, Claremont 56, in 2006, many thought it would be the first of many. In a way, it was, as in the years since he’s released a string of collaborative sets alongside Benjamin J Smith (as Smith & Mudd), and as part of underground ‘supergroups’ Paqua, Bison and Hillside. But that second solo album? Well, it just had to wait.

In early 2023, Murphy finally decided to scratch that itch, roping in some of his most trusted collaborators (keyboardist and bassist Michele Chiavarini, percussionist Patrick Dawes, guitarist Dave Noble and HF International’s Kashif included) to lay down a sumptuous set of tracks that not only showcases his now familiar (bit hard to pigeonhole) neo-Balearic sound, but also proves how much he has matured as a writer and producer since 2006.

In The Garden of Mindfulness is richly musically detailed, expertly arranged and full to bursting with fluid instrumental solos, with Murphy and his collaborators serving up tracks that brilliantly blur the boundaries between languid jazz-funk, downtempo, vintage synth-laden krautrock, dubby grooves and sun-splashed soundscapes.

It simply sparkles from the moment that opener ‘Eighty Three’ slowly rises like the morning sun, with gentle, undulating synth sounds ushering in a slow-motion jazz-funk excursion rich in twinkling electronics, spacey pads and warming bass. Recent single ‘Katanaboy’, a lusciously layered dub disco-infused dancefloor excursion in Murphy’s familiar style, raises the temperature a touch, before ‘Bonne Anse’ and the sublime ‘Unka Paw’ (whose combination of evocative fretless bass, extended electric piano solos, Clavinet licks and acoustic guitars is genuinely spellbinding) invite a combination of wavy shuffling and flat-on-the-back, eyes-closed appreciation.

And so it continues, with gorgeous title track ‘In The Garden of Mindfulness’ making way for the boogie-influenced, Japanese-British brilliance of ‘Hangsang’ (check the jaunty pianos, yearning breakdown and exotic melodies). Murphy’s long held love of warm, weighty bass, hypnotic disco grooves, colourful analogue synth sounds and jazzy guitars once again comes to the fore on ‘Afternoon Bob’ before the album reaches a fittingly triumphant conclusion with ‘Late In March’. 

A neat sonic summary of all that makes the set such a rewarding and entertaining experience, repeat listens reveals a wealth of musical details, from off-kilter triple-time drums and surprise bass guitar solos, to impeccable piano solos (provided by the immensely talented Chiavarini), fizzing jazz-funk synth doodles and stirring synth-strings. It’s a breathlessly brilliant way to end an album that was genuinely worth waiting for.

◉ Cyril Cyril  - Colosse De Rhodes - 1st single of their upcoming 1st album CERTAINE RUINES out on September the 21th ◉

| On rotation all summer on France Inter  | co-release with BORN BAD RECORDS

“Cyril  Cyril  repeats  itself  as  a  reflection  would  in  infinite  mirrors.  A  vagabond  rumour,  borrowed  from  age  old  whispers,  beyond  Mounts  Atlas  and  Ararat,  to  whomever  is  willing  to  hear  the  echo  of  thousands  of  places where  melodies  hummed  by  angels  and  drums  are  beaten  continuously  since  the  birth  of  mankind.  With  a  banjo,  a  guitar,  a  melodeon,  strange  drums,  multiples  voices  and  languages  as  their  sole  companions,  Cyril  Cyril  cuts  a  groove  from  the  soul  and  transcends,  for  a  few  tracks  a  time,  the  good  manners  of  damned  souls.  The  tandem,  disguised  as  an  ghost-like  fanfare,  rises  like  a  phoenix  on  the  dance  floor...”

Lyrics :

I've never been lonely, cause... me is so cool
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
I've never been clever because need it never
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
Guitar, guitar, guitar, guitar,
Come to my Boudoir
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
Guitar, guitar, guitar, guitar,
Jump to my Yaguar
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
I put on my pyjamas and go to Bahamas
Baby no possibility play it with me
Guitar, guitar, guitar, guitar,
Jump to my Yaguar baby, you have a possibility play it with me(x2)
Is there sun over sky?
{Lai, lai, lai, lai.., c'mon...,dance
yes, wola olaola gitar male yes}
Guitar, guitar, guitar, guitar,
Come to my Boudoir
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
Guitar, guitar, guitar, guitar,
Jump to my Yaguar Oooo
Baby you have a possibility play it with me
