Music Inspiration: This track was built on the idea of sampling CRED recordings to make my own beat tape. With the addition of BK's drum beats and Scott's melody, everything came together. Sampled in this tune is Joe Tatton's recording of Ciutadella.

Artist Statement: Sampled Joe Tatton's CRED recording entitled Ciutadella.

Track Inspiration: I wanted this tune to sound like it was blooming as it went along. Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish, and I wanted the song to reflect the constant change of a butterfly's life. I'm hoping the development of the song reflects that idea.

Artist Statement: I remember writing and rewriting this tune for about 4 months before I had anything that I liked. Then I just forced myself to record it! All of the tracks on the tune are me except the shaker, which is my dude BK.

Musical Style: Psychedelic Funk

Album Description: This is a funk record. Multiple-horns, multiple rhythms, and multiple players. This album is a straight-up instrumental attack, where the only voice you hear is the collective force of these eight players hitting all original cuts live and off the floor. Polyrhythmics are not trying to emulate or recreate something that has already been done. This is not “retro,” or “throwback;” this is music being made together, today in The Now. The raw, fresh and genuine sounds captured on Libra Stripes are an instrumental testament to the universal groove and appeal of funk and afrobeat music.

Color Red is proud to release the 2022 remaster of this monumental album.

Musical Inspiration: 'Famous Last Words' is the title track to the album and was written by Jason Cressey. Initially written on a bus while on tour with Odesza, the tune was brought to the band a couple weeks before we entered the studio as we needed a couple more tracks to complete the album. The band picked up on the groove immediately and as we started dialing in feel and form, the melody slowly started to emerge, forming the bones of the track. After the initial rehearsal, Jason went home and while working out the horn arrangement stumbled upon what is now the neo soul style ending of the tune. 'Famous Last Words' is one of the more elaborate and developed tracks on the record featuring Gordon Brown on a tenor sax solo and Delvon Lamarr on the wulitzer. There's a piece in this tune for everyone! Catchy horn melodies, deep pocket grooves, break beats, crispy James Brown-esque horn stabs all with a healthy dose of dynamics!

Artist Statement:  The title track to the record, 'Famous Last Words' features the every member in the band in one way or another. Inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire meets the JB's vibes, the tune starts off with a crispy lick that launches the band into a dance floor banger that's sure to get you're body and soul moving and grooving. Featured solos by Gordon Brown on tenor sax and Delvon Lamarr on wurlitzer. Attention samplers - check out the rhythm section breakdown after the sax solo! 

Track Description: “Famous Last Words” is the title track off of True Loves’ 2017 debut LP. The song comes out of the gate with a crispy lick, catapulting the band into Earth, Wind & Fire meets The J.B.’s territory. Trombonist Jason Cressy wrote the tune while on tour with Odesza. As one of the more elaborate and developed tracks on the record, the standout tune features something for everyone with catchy horn melodies, deep pocket grooves, breakbeats, tight James Brown-esque horn stabs, a wide range of dynamics, and a slamming tenor saxophone solo by Gordon Brown. Following up the group’s 2021 sophomore LP ‘Sunday Afternoon,’ the digital single release celebrates ‘Famous Last Words’ being remastered and getting its second vinyl pressing via Color Red.

Track Description: Madrid-based guitarist and Color Red collaborator Lucas de Mulder teams up with drummer/composer Joe Sturges on “Pasajero.” With an earthly rhythmic backbone, the guitars on “Pasajero” pass through like leaves blowing in the wind during a nostalgic train ride. The driving bass line and non-stop groove coupled with the airy guitar melody slowly build up to a bombastic and dream-like climax and leaves listeners washed over with an optimistic state of mind.

This song is heavily influenced by Fancy, a song by The New Mastersounds. I spent a whole summer listening to this song in a compilation I made for my car. This song reminds me a lot of good times. So that summer, which was especially hot, I wrote Warm Nights, a reggae song. When I wrote the song I knew it would be very cool to do it with two guitars. For this Eddie is the perfect partner. Chris, Nate and Alejandro put in the rest to get the song to flow very naturally and stable.

Musical Influences:  Black Sabbath, Budos Band, Menahan Street Band

Album Description: Tetrao Urogallus presents their eponymous proto-metal, psychedelic funk debut on Color Red with “Tetrao Ugogallus.” The concept of the band was born as the title is Latin for ‘wood grouse’ and all subsequent tracks are Latin terms for flora and fauna. The mystical sounds in “Tetrao Urogallus” reflect a gloomy forest atmosphere through which the capercaillie makes its daily rounds. Collaborators David Nesselhauf and Dennis Rux have worked together in several projects and the two are able to pursue their love for dark sounds, fuzzy guitars, and captivating brass sections in Tetrao Urogallus.

Hamburg, Germany’s Tetrao Urogallus is the latest torch bearer in the lineage of horn-laced modern psychedelic soul and doom fuzz bands such The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band, and Brownout. The band’s namesake is the Latin term for the western capercaillie (wood grouse) and the band embraces thematic elements naming every track after Latin terms for flora and fauna. “Gallus Major” describes the strongest capercaillie in the tok. The track begins with boisterous horn sustains and quickly simmers into a soundtrack for the gallus major to sneak up on its prey and then go in for the kill. The band’s debut LP exhibits collaborator Dennis Rux and David Nesselhauf’s love for dark, fuzzy sounds mixed with their rich backgrounds performing with the in the contemporary funk/soul act The Hamburg Spinners and Rux’s vast production knowledge garnered from operating Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Studios.

Musical Inspiration: The track´s name refers to the sun spurge (madwoman´s milk), a rare highly poisonous plant which keeps his head towards the sun and (after all evil) is said to cure liver cancer. What could be more inspiring? 

Artist Statement: During the session, I was constantly enjoying my instrument and the fun athmosphere, so there was no tension even so we did record most of the time - now, hearing the result, it is hard to believe I really did this. Another important lesson learned.
