marky's fresh faves pt2

Slow down
You’re moving too fast
Can’t you find the beat?
Pick your feet up
You know it won’t last
If only you could see yourself
Caught up, 
What’s there to prove
Who’re you trying to be?
Just a big man
Caught in a loop
What else is there to see?

You’ll get dressed up
Jacket and tails
Ready for the day
Like a magpie, caught in the nude
You hide yourself away
You’ll put one foot forward
Then you take it back
Restless feet on a broken track

You’re a loud-mouth
Say what you hear
And speak before you think
Put your ear that close to the ground
And dirt will soil you speech
Won’t you let us in
And we’ll watch you cry
Smiling broadly with arms held wide

Don’t mind me, I’ll mind myself
Don’t Mind me, I’ll mind myself
Don’t you go
No don’t you go
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you

When you gunna 
When you gunna 
When you gunna 
When you going to learn?
How long, how long, until you learn?
I said when you gunna
When you gunna
Learn?

I won’t

Slow down
You’re moving too fast
Can’t you find the beat?
Pick your feet up
You know it won’t last
If only you could see yourself
Caught up, 
What’s there to prove
Who’re you trying to be?
Just a big man
Caught in a loop
What else is there to see?

“And through the haze there shone a white light, and from that light played sweet sweet music... and to that music... We got high. Much love to the Hemps” – Paolo Nutini

“The Hempolics are the best band in the UK – but nobody knows it yet...” - Maxi Jazz (Faithless)

“Real vintage lo fi reggae inspired soul music for the 21st century city scape people” – DJ Vadim

“Great summer vibes. Puts a smile on my face. And amazing live too!” - Eliza Doolittle

“The best thing I’ve heard in ages” La Roux

The Hempolics are out to put those organic rootsy vibes back into music; with their fat radio-friendly hooks, bumping soundsystem bass and a wanderlusty, ineffably real sound all of their own...

Over years of recording top international talent The Hempolics enigmatic leader, Grippa Laybourne, has been carefully honing his own masterpiece and selecting a gang armed and dangerous enough to execute it. The Hempolics caused an instant stir with their single Serious which hit number one in the UK reggae charts and was playlisted on Massive Attack’s BBC takeover.

New debut album ‘Kiss, Cuddle & Torture Vol. 1’ has seen the band erupt with three singles playlisted by BBC6 Music and support from Steve Lamacq, Toddla T, Rodigan & Don Letts to name a few. Liz Kershaw selected the album on her ‘all killer, no filler’ best albums of the past 30 years and invited the band to play her BBC anniversary show after hearing them smash a live session for Lauren Laverne on BBC6. It’s not just on radio that the band have been breaking with album track ‘Samurai’ synced to the worldwide trailer for Coen Brothers and George Clooney film ‘Hail, Caesar!’

Sounding like the i-pod of the attention-deficit generation and swelled by guest appearances from various international talents The Hempolics have a storm brewing that promises to tear up the UK music scene. Recording underground style throughout the bedrooms and home studios of the band The Hempolics have created an infectious mash-up of Reggae, Electro, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rock and Pop. Although the weather out might be dull London-side it’s strictly sunshine vibes, resplendent with huge hooks and festival friendly choruses. These are tunes that people will be bopping to across festivals, clubs and car journeys for years to come.

The Hempolics pedigree recordings are combined with tight as a tick live performances – honed at their own underground club night in London – and they are amongst the up and coming acts to watch. They are the brainchild of veteran sound engineer and record producer Grippa Laybourne. Core vocalists, the empyreal Nubiya and devilishly dashing Dandelion, combine together impeccably, with Dan’s brother Harry sometimes stepping in with his own smooth tones. The rest of the band comprises of deft bassist Lorenzo, Leon King who ranks up there with the finest Reggae/Dub guitarists around and the exceptional Craig Boorman on drums.

Take your eye off The Hempolics at your peril. Ital business!
