"Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness, ninety-nine pounds of soul" - the Ann Peebles lyric says it all. Or at least a pinch of it.

Laetitia N'Diaye and Aurélien Barbolosi (Atomic Maggots, Astonvilla) - the two founding members of 99lbs - have just wrapped up their second album "A Place in the Sun".

The tracks keep a heavy dose of the soul-infused and rock influences heard on the first album, but they raise the temperature with churning guitar riffs, catchy hooks, and texts that touch on everything from broken hearts to police brutality. They are joined by Benjamin Farrugia on drums (Doc Gynéco, Jehro) and Pierre Lalu (Atomic Maggots) on bass.

To craft "A place in the sun", they collaborated with a rowdy group of songwriters and esoteric daydreamers, including South Carolina rapper Saraph Sunman, singers Benjamin Siksou and Patrón Data (Patrón) on backing vocals, and their old DC-based comrade Dearmac.

Since their debut album (Street Corner Fairytale - Magazine Records), 99lbs have been busy gigging and writing new songs. The group is going to release their new album and to hit the road again soon.

Laetitia N'diaye: words, thoughts, whispers, shouts, keys
Aurélien Barbolosi: guitar, bass, keys, producing, logistics
Benjamin Farrugia: drums, cymbals, tambourine, shaker, cowbell
Pierre Lalu: bass, inspiration, enlightenment, wisdom
Saraph Sunman: rap vocals on "Lock and Load", "The Ghost of Trayvon Martin"
Dearmac: quill co-handler
Benjamin Siksou, Patrón Data: special guest haunting choir on "Scared Paradise", "Untamed and Wild"
