Funky Mother (Purple Vinyl) [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Limited purple vinyl LP pressing. Funky Mother is Analog Son's fourth full-length and their most robust effort yet with a 12-song collection of instant classics composed by co-founders and longtime musical collaborators, Jordan Linit and Josh Fairman. It is the first release on Color Red, a brand new hub of high-quality, curated content founded by Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds, who also produced the record. With Roberts at the helm in the studio and producing the album, the band has evolved beyond just being solid composers. As the name Analog Son implies Linit, Fairman, and company, have truly become the new generation of heavy-hitting, authentic groove music that was cultivated in the 70s. The group utilized vintage recording techniques like putting t-shirts on the drums and recording with minimal mics pushing the envelope in both the funk genre and further into their own sound. "Ugly Mug" is the perfect example of this matured vigor featuring beautiful vocals intertwined with rich horn harmonies and filled out by Roberts' guidance on phrasing and crafting the bridge sections. The end result is a collection of the band's best work yet taking them to soaring new heights. The album also features guest appearances from Shane Endsley of Kneebody, Jeff Franca of Thievery Corporation, Parris Fleming of The Motet, and Nick Gerlach of Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics.
