Stripes
Brighton Boulevard
SOUL/FUNK
'Stripes' is the sophomore album for Sydney-based 9 piece live soul hip-hop band KID CONFUCIUS, renowned for their energetic and packed live shows - clocking over 200 since 2002 with sell out shows across the country and stand-out festival performances at Splendour In The Grass, The Great Escape and Pyramid Rock amongst others
Their debut self-titled album was released in 2005 and was critically acclaimed with singles "Words" and "Skintight" receiving high rotation national radio play on JJJ and community radio with video clips on high rotation on V, MTV and Rage.
Sounds like a Detroit era Motown record produced and mixed with the aesthetic of a banging hip hop album. Expect a sound that conjures a MARVIN GAYE soul symphony performed by THE BEATLES and conducted by KANYE WEST, with a live show to match.
'Stripes' was produced by Sydney's producer TONY BUCHEN and mixed by Grammy award winning engineer RUSSELL ELEVADO (THE ROOTS, D'ANGELO, DAVE CHAPPELLE'S BLOCK PARTY) at JIMI HENDRIX's own Electric Lady Studios in NYC.
Stripes, lead by the singles "Last Straw" and "Closer", has already attracted early critical acclaim from ROLLING STONE and SMASH HITS, with both magazines awarding the album four stars. Rolling Stone calls the upcoming third single, Moment "sublime... [A standout] on a mighty fine album".
THE AGE "Artfully combines the soulful influence of past masters such as Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Donnie Hathaway with the spirit of intelligent, modern hip hop artists such The Roots and Mos Def"... THE DAILY TELEGRAPH "Recaptures the halcyon days of soul and funk..."... SCENE "....made me look for a Motown logo on the CD as they have captured the soulful 60's feel with uncanny precision ..... their music is of the staggering sonic hugeness typical of the grand masters who turned professional 40 years ago and have access to endless funds and musicians."
