Amoeba Review

Michael H, Berkeley 11/21/2024

Groovy modern soul music with a major retro vibe from this celebrated local San Francisco ensemble. At times, Kelly Finnigan’s vocals echo the sweetness of Marvin Gaye in his 1970s peak and Smokey Robinson’s elegant falsetto. Occasionally he even mirrors the grit of a Lee Moses or an Otis Redding, with a similar raspy growl creeping in to really hammer home the comparisons. And yet overall, his voice is really his own, capable of whatever he needs it to be for a given song. It’s always just right for each specific track and for the production on display here, which is that perfect synthesis of classic and current that works so well for this kind of music. Another winner on the Colemine label, who can really do no wrong. Top notch stuff.
