Lack of Afro – Back to the Day feat. Elliott
Lack of Afro - Back to the Day feat. Elliott Cole

Release Date: Out Now
Hold everything, hold everything.
HOLD. EVERYTHING. Here it is folks, the sound of summer 2018 is right here and
it comes from an unlikely source. Adam Gibbons is a multi-instrumentalist,
composer and producer from Exeter who trades under the name Lack of Afro and
he’s releasing a single, ‘Back in the Day’, featuring the vocal talents of
Elliott Cole. Now, the key to absolute genius of this track is that is rich
with the funk. It’s soaking in funk. Drenched in the stuff. From the scratchy
guitars that sound as though they’re being played on a Detroit front step to
the horns that are so smooth that they might as well be blowing in to honey,
this is a class act from start to finish. The rhythm pops and clicks like a
Jackson 5 track while Cole’s vocals are rich where they need to be and funky
where you want them to be. Then there’s the funky little keys breakdown and the
lyric “these days everybody rushing round, these days gotta just slow down”
which just gives this a huge dose of authenticity. Get yourself a copy of this
(on vinyl if that’s at all possible), open all the windows and doors, turn it
up load and wait for the good times to come your way. And, just to clarify,
that’s an almighty slab sun infused funk coming straight to your ears from
Exeter, UK. Who’da thunk it, eh?
