Adrian Younge: Something About April Deluxe Edition (Venice Dawn) Vinyl LP
Psychedelic soul visions from the man Adrian Younge.Ā You might know Younge for scoring (and editing)Ā Black Dynamite, but forĀ Something About AprilĀ the talented multi-instrumentalist/producer goes under theĀ Venice DawnĀ moniker for a batch of gritty cinematic instrumentals with a hip-hop aesthetic. If you put the sound ofĀ Ennio Morricone,Ā Wu-Tang,Ā Otis Redding,Ā King Crimson, andĀ PortisheadĀ in the blender, you can sort of get a picture of what's going on inĀ Something About April. It is at the same time soulful and heavy, dark and psychedelic, and just plain awesome. One of the tracks here were featured on the limitedĀ Wax PoeticsĀ Serato disc - "It's Me" a heavy, dark and cinematic modern soul number withĀ Rebecca JordanĀ on vocals, but we are treated to a full album with highlights including "Turn Down The Sound," "Two Hearts Combine," "Reverie," and "Dusts Of Gold." Impressive work from a leader in the new soul renaissance. 2015 repress with bonus cut "Niacin." Recommended.
