DO NOT MISS THIS BAND!
UBIQUITY RECORDS Retro-Soul Sensation. . .
* * *ORGONE* * *
(New & Funktified Retro-Soul Dynamite Stax Style...!)
plus:
*JUNO WHAT?*
(members of Motet - Killin' Band)
and:
*DJ K-OS*
(of Digital Underground - spins btwn sets)
*ORGONE*...
Sounding much like a cross between The Dap-Kings and Breakestra (with whom they share several members), L.A.’s Orgone keeps the hotness of the recent retro-soul revival coming; lead singer Fanny Franklin fits in very nicely between Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse. As befits the band’s name, Orgone’s sound is quite organic, rooted in soul, funk, boogaloo, and jazz, with a classic appeal that’s nevertheless contemporary...the entire album is one non-stop groove. If smooth, soulful funk with jazzy arrangements makes you sweat, you just found your new favorite band.
- XLR8R
By the time the listener gets to the nasty, distorted, finger-popping, ass waggling Crabby Ali -- where the deep brewed, second-line New Orleans old-school funk goes head to head with the gloss of L.A.'s Tower of Power styled horn charts -- it feels like the party's just getting started.
- All Music
Orgone recalls acts like Fela Kuti, Trouble Funk, and War, but with a heavy dose of disco, as on Killion's Dialed Up, where the deep groove and diva vocals are so authentic, they could be samples.
- The Onion / A.V. Club
Their music is terrifically unfussy, big slabs of grizzled R&B, greasy as fatback and thick as a very particular kind of smoke. At their best, they recall the majesty of Sly & the Family Stone; opening track Who Knows Who is all bleary horns and broken-heart vocals, It's What You Do is a tight, itchy jam. There's still a riot goin' on, and Orgone is at the front of the crowd.
- eMusic
It’s easy to imagine The Killion Floor both igniting mass partying and stoking libidos for more intimate gatherings.
- OC Weekly
One of the funkiest singles we've heard on Ubiquity Records in years...
- Dusty Groove
A real force to be reckoned with on the funk scene...
- Jazzman
If this is any indication of how good their album will be we're in for a treat.
- Fat City Records
If you thought disco–real soulful disco–could never come back, think again.
- XLR8R
Chalk up another hit in Ubiquity’s long line of worthy releases. Just in time for your backyard barbeques and drives to the beach.
- Groundlift Magazine
The Los-Angeles-based band’s reputation amongst the funk and soul fraternity is backed-up by an impressive and quickly growing resume that is expanding their reach. This includes landing a spot in an Adidas campaign, touring with major-label crew Little Brother, and going out as backing band for The Pharcyde, Plantlife (including a BBC performance for Jools Holland), Tone Loc, and New Orleans funk legend Eddie Bo at the Hurricane Katrina benefit. Members of Orgone also feature in the make-up of Ubiquity acts Connie Price and Breakestra and perform regularly at the Root Down in LA.
