Letters From The Atlantic [Sea Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Butcher Brown
Amoeba Review
Jazz fusion quintet Butcher Brown returns with new album, Letters From The Atlantic, spotlighting many talented female vocalists. That roster features Yaya Bey, Leanor Wolf, Mia Gladstone, Melanie Charles, and Victoria Victoria. "Unwind" feat. Melanie Charles is hypnotic, soulful, and slinky with a foot-tapping beat and fluttering flutes. "Montrose Forest" features Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Nicholas Payton and it's another strong track, an instrumental with a throwback, and laidback, '70s funk vibe. Psych-rock and soul artist Neal Francis also makes an appearance on "Something New About You."
