The Gaslamp Killer meets The Heliocentrics LEGNA

Description

Here’s a partnership destined for greatness in the pursuit of grooves from around the world. The Gaslamp Killer made his name as LA’s foremost digger of obscure, psych-heavy funk from parts unknown, while The Heliocentrics have shaped a formidable oeuvre as an ensemble working with everyone from Lloyd Miller and Mulatu Astatke to DJ Shadow and Archie Shepp. After crossing paths a few times The Heliocentrics became GLK’s backing band, which lit the touch-paper for the long-simmering project which now sits before your expectant ears. If you dig the work of either party, you’ll have some idea of where you’re heading when you drop the needle on this one, but of course that also means you’re in for a bag of worldly surprises and killer get-downs throughout this expansive, ambitious album project. – Juno
