Smile! Its Skeletons

2010-08-04

Do Right Music is proud to announce the release of Nostalgia 77's alter-ego "Skeletons" album Smile. Originally a private pressing of 300 Vinyl LPs, Do Right has now obtained exclusive rights to the vinyl release which will hit stores on September 13th in Europe. Digital/CD formats available through Tru Thoughts Records.

Benedic Lamdin is a musician, producer and engineer from London, UK. He has produced a string of LP's as Nostalgia 77 for Tru Thoughts Recording. This time though he has summoned a new style of work with a heavily African influenced record: inspired by Fela Kuti's minor-key Afrobeat moves, Mulatu Astatke's Ethio-groove and what sounds like some vaguely Afro-jazzy Italian sound library joint.

Smile, was almost entirely written by Lamdin, whilst actually being played by various musicians as they passed through his studio. The result is an incredible musical collage that has taken on its own identity.
