Listen to “ Wake Up” b/w “The Deep” 7”
The Brooklyn duo of Andrew LeCoche and Evan Heinze, who play in the bands Ula Ruth and The Shacks, as The Still Brothers the lifelong friends bring much diversity and creativity to these 2 tracks.
Side A offers us “Wake Up”, where Marina B’s soft, expressive pipes complement the warm beat and crisp atmosphere that’s hazy, soulful and expertly produced by Will Dorey (Skinshape), while benefitting from samples and organ.
The B Side, “The Deep”, is a louder tune, where much emphasis is on percussion as bright horns add a jazzy spirit to the hip-hop influenced and New Orleans flavored fusion that even recruits a flute amid the funk gestures.
As to be expected considering their excellent past work, The Still Brothers are off to an exceptional start, and let’s hope these 2 eclectic and attentive tracks are a precursor to an LP on the horizon, cause talent like this deserves a wider platform.
