In a digital world of mp3s, iPods, and online listening services the Columbus based neo-funk band Mojoflo is going old-school. The band's first release of 2011 will be a 45rpm vinyl single due out on April 1st.
The A side “Home To You" is a mojo-fan favorite. It's an up-tempo James Brown inspired groove that details a musician's long trip home after a gig. The song features a heavy drum break, a scorching performance from lead vocalist Amber Knicole, and band hits that would make JB himself proud!
The B side is “Dance" which finds the group getting in touch with their pop sensibilities. The combination of catchy song-writing and signature soul-grooves results in an irresistible call to the dance floor straight out of Motown.
In order to get an authentic vintage sound the group traveled to Ante-Up Audio in Cleveland, OH. The band used equipment and recording techniques from the 60's and 70's in order to obtain a gritty, old-school sound.
The band's keyboard player Tim Magree explains, “We set up the whole band in one room. What you hear on the record is a live performance, captured by vintage microphones, and recorded straight to analog tape. Nothing digital touched this music until the manufacturing process began." The result is a record with a funky, feel-good vibe that will take you on a trip to way back when.
The single will be released with a bang Friday April 1st at Skully's Music Diner in Columbus, OH. The show will also kick off a national tour in support of the release. Mojoflo will be touring all throughout the south, east-coast, and mid-west in the next 3 months. Check out mojoflomusic.com for the full schedule of shows.
The single will be available for sale through the band's website mojoflomusic.com, at select local retail stores, and as digital downloads on iTunes and all other major online music retailers.
