Throwback ’60s R&B, Boogaloo and Freakbeat sounds from France
This recently formed French quartet has got the sounds of 1960s British R&B, Boogaloo and Freakbeat down, from their punch-in-the-gut mono mix to stellar organ and Fender Rhodes and tasty guitar solos. The Animals, Spencer Davis Group, Pretty Things and early Rolling Stones are obvious antecedents, with an emphasis on bluesy go-go beats that surely make Towerbrown a favorite for the dance floor. Three vocal tracks and the hard-swinging organ-and-guitar instrumental “Let’s Paint it Brown†make up the band’s 4-song debut EP. Available as a limited edition 7†single (email the band for info) or digital download, this one’s sure to keep you grooving. [©2010 hyperbolium dot com]
