Drivin N Cryin - Too Late To Turn Back Now - VINYL LP

Drivin N' Cryin - Live The Love Beautiful Live [VINYL LP] date 01/31/2020

An accomplished musician, producer and engineer, Milan Ring is a figurehead in Australia's recent R&B renaissance, having collaborated with the likes of SZA, DRAM, Chance The Rapper's group The Social Experiment, BJ The Chicago Kid, The Avalanches, Cosmo's Midnight and more. Milan Ring meticulously curates each and every aspect of the creative process, from the first chord struck on the guitar to the final mix, all within the walls of her studio in Western Sydney. In early 2020, Milan reached out to fellow Sydney-based producer Blessed, a trusted friend and the co-producer of 2020 single, InchAre Your Friends Alright?Inch, and asked him to send her some beats. Within a week, a new framework for her debut album, I'm Feeling Hopeful was written. Whether it's the promise of an alternate path or a light at the end of the one she's traveling down, hope serves as a motivating force for Milan Ring. Acting as a declarative banner framing every beat, note and lyric. The album makes a case for recovery at the end of addiction, freedom from controlling forces, self-control balancing out the temptation of things that cause harm and above all, hope that these things are possible.

Orgone is a pillar of West Coast soul music, maintaining an unmissable touring presence for more than a decade. The group's arresting intensity, impeccable playing style, and undeniable, irresistible chemistry have earned them the reputation as one of the tightest bands of the modern era. Fresh off of doubling as the studio band for discodelic sensation Say She She and circling the globe as the live band for their wildly successful world tour, Orgone is back in California and coming in hot with Chimera, a fire-breathing spectacle of psychedelic Afro-soul. Produced by Sergio Rios (Neal Francis, Say She She), Chimera is an electrifying, dream-like odyssey, tripping through the hazy swamps of New Orleans, weaving textures of entrancing voodoo soul, thrumming Afro-funk, and stoney psych-rock. In Chimera, the heavy-hitting new LP from Orgone, out February 9th, 2024 on 3 Palm Records, the Los Angeles-based outfit carves tough, gritty, infectious grooves into heady dance rhythms. Taking it's name from a mythical beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a serpent, Chimera conjures a state that is at once trance-like and heart-poundingly exciting. The album offers a spellbinding mix of cathartic instrumentals, dub voyages, and soulful vocal performances by Jamie Allensworth, Terin Ector, and Congolese musical alchemist Mermans InchMofayaInch Mosengo. Known for their gripping instrumentals and incendiary live show, the band is firing on all cylinders and the earned confidence of this time-tested, cult-favorite crew is on display throughout Chimera. Describing the process of producing and engineering this psych-funk showcase, guitarist and Orgone co-founder Sergio Rios says, InchThe album really took form organically. It's raw and dark with a hopeful thread throughout that's highlighted by the incredible soul singers we work with. There's a looseness to
