With just three years on the scene, Paris-based Jéroboam are already considered as one of the most exciting and essential new voices in contemporary soul, funk and disco. A true manifesto for live music and the dancefloor, this 11-piece live machine hits the stage like a juggernaut and doesn’t just play the music, they live and breathe it.
After a slew of certified underground classic releases on Space Grapes and Chuwanaga which have been supported worldwide by tastemakers and connoisseurs, Jéroboam is now presenting its long awaited first LP on Favorite Recordings.
From boogie-funk to 2-step soul crossover, Jéroboam delivers 8 heartelf songs, combining razor-sharp compositions with genuine and relatable lyrics. Achieving such an exciting and challenging piece of work is the outcome of a long and inspiring process started more than 10 years ago in Paris. From their early beginnings on the local scene, the core musicians of Jéroboam thrived on their mutual love for funk music under the name and concept of Echoes Of.
Building on these successful experiences and expanding its line up over the years, the band has been able to sharpen its sound, craft a distinctive crossover identity and create its own original music under a brand new entity: Jéroboam. This momentum culminates in their debut full-length album right here on Favorite Recordings, a defining moment for one of Europe’s most vital modern funk acts. ch-ch-ch-check!!!
