Lyrics:
It’s been so cold without you here
And now that you’ve come back
Look what we’ve found here
Look what we’ve found right here

You’re so full of many talents
So perfectly on balance

That’s why we always love you
You know we’ve gotta have you
No stress, no mess

If you don’t know
You just can’t fall somewhere
Bustin’ round town
Runnin’ around down town
Without a care in the world

That’s why we always love you
You know we’ve gotta have you
No stress, no mess

L.O.V.E.Y.O.U.

King Kooba & Simone "Flash" Gordon - L.O.V.E.Y.O.U.

One of the Om Records founding artists returns! Old Stone Bridge brings together the original Eighty Mile Beach duo of Beth Custer (vocals, contrabass clarinet, acoustic piano) and Christian Jones (electronics, piano, drums) and sounds like a cross hybrid between Portishead & Tom Waits. Original to the maximum, it’s a refreshing return to the roots of Om and a welcome home to one of their legends.

Step across that old stone bridge

Lyrics:

Old Stone Bridge ©Eighty Mile Beach 2021
Beth Custer: voice, words, contrabass clarinet, acoustic piano 
Christian Jones: electronics, piano, drums

Old Stone Bridge 
You are my 
Everything
My love, my mast 
My joy, my baby boy
I skip across the river’s edge 
From your high tower
Won’t you reign down on me 
With all your mighty power
Step across that old stone bridge 
Down to me
‘Never to wait’ you always said 
With such marvelous glee
I always pictured us
Side by side
Run down to the waters edge 
By and by
You are my 
Everything
My love, my mast 
My joy, my baby boy

The Jazzual Suspects is a labor of love of musician/producer Charlie Tate, a man responsible for well-known Om-Records stalwarts King Kooba and Colossus. With the debut long player from TJS, the love of the old school golden era of funky breaks, jazz and soul influenced hip-hop is obvious. 

“In some respects, Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz series was the catalyst for this project” says Charlie. TJS have had at least one track featured on every MJ release since volume 5. 

So sit back.. make yourself comfortable.. and get a load of this.. 
17 cuts inspired by bebop jazz, funk and rare groove...you’ll not be disappointed!
