| CD-DETAILS TALK TO THE ANIMALS [JUMBONICS] |
|
 |  |
Jumbonics (aka Rob Mac and Matt Smooth) are the duo behind such classic London club nights as 'Scratch'. When they're not recording and performing as Jumbonics or DJing and promoting in the Big Smoke, they can be found moonlighting as one half of soul-funk four-piece Gum Drop.
"Talk To The Animals" takes a step away from the largely instrumental feel of their first album in favour of traditional, vocal-led song structures and more mature soul sound; perfect for fans of Peven Everett and Jill Scott.
Norman Anderson lends his voice to the proceedings, leaving little doubt as to why he's been in such demand with the likes of Yam Who? and Tony Allen lately. If you haven't already heard Mr. Anderson do his thing then trust us, this man can sing.
Among Jumbonics' immensely talented line-up of guest musicians is Lucy Wilkins, who has previously worked the strings for many a 4Hero release.
Amid a bewitching blend of styles including disco, funk and hip hop, the album boasts an infectious cover of The Strokes' international hit record "Last Nite". Released as a 7" single in December 2006, the Jumbonics version transforms the original from NY garage rock into a b-boy/funk anthem.
