Obviously influenced by every master of funk in the 80s, this has a small-town charm all its own. While this is a varied set, it grabs you from the get-go with the 8+ minute opener “Dangerous.” The set is produced and written Nathaniel Phillips, the band’s bass player, and that’s not surprising considering the popping bassline is a huge part of the charm.
Perhaps this offering from Portland, Oregon is not worth what you’d likely end up paying for it, this is certainly worth a listen if you dig obscure funk from the 1980s.
