SAUL

Rhythm Section INTL are back with another release from Saul - the group made up of Jack Stephenson-Oliver (keys player of fellow Rhythm Section signee, Vels Trio) and producer Barney Whittaker, aka Footshooter.

Their newest project is a feel good, summer-ready soundtrack, bursting with uplifting synths and groove-heavy broken beats. When the two of them get together, their jam sessions result in a fusion of alternative future jazz which has that classic broken beat mood. There's some curveballs in there too - the Detroit-meets-UK indebted hi-tech jazz - breakbeat hybrid of "Lifted" a perfect example.

Collaboration is a key element to the creative output of Saul, shining a light over individual talents such as Allysha Joy, Natty Wylah, Lex Amor and James Mollison.

A beautifully realized album that shows off the dizzying depth of these two rising stars' songwriting and production. Recommended! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: The ever-reliable Rhythm Section invite Barney Whittaker & Jack Stephenson-Oliver for a second session. It's a brilliantly vibrant journey through house, broken beat, jazz and neo-soul.

Ess O Ess & Saul Richards Feat. Laura Lee

Totem - Inc. Hardaway Brothers / Otologic Remixes

Ess O Ess have finally joined the Kinfolk stable with a thunderous release featuring Laura Lee of Khruangbin fame. Entitled "Totem", the original mix is a wailing guitar-heavy psyche rock-out that sees Laura Lee's vocals carrying it across a peyote-filled landscape. Saul's "Swamp Crawl" version sees the slow 'n' heavy rock elements kept in the mix but with added electronic flourishes. Head nodding is an optional extra while The Hardway Brothers decided to tune in with the spirit of Johnny Jenkins and haul it through New Orleans via a pit stop at John Carpenter's desert holiday home. Otologic bring up the rear with an altogether different take by donning their finest digi dub garb and take it as far away as they can from its psyche out beginnings; laced with 'lectronic dread and wacked-out tape delays. Mega!

Danny Saul

History +3

    Emerging from the Albini-endorsed Tsuji Giri, Saul's approach to his craft is all consuming. On this, his second solo EP, he fleshes out his absorbing avant garde folk with layers of electric guitar, vocals and drums. If "Signs 1" has a haunting claustrophobia and "Cuts" aches with frustration, that's because Saul feels comfortable building up his songs alone, surrounded by a variety of instruments, in his dusky Manchester flat.
