So i've had this album for over a year, and i don't remember ever listening to it all the way through before, but i've definitely listened to enough of it to know that it's the greasiest, most 70s, down south dirty funk ever made. the album cover couldn't be more fitting. it sounds like this band recorded this in their garage in between meals. or maybe during meals. all of the songs are named after different soul food stylings: Greasy Pork, Deep Fried Chitlings, Mo' Hash, Momma's Gravy (Yum Yum). they definitely sound like lesser known contemporaries of a group like Booker T and the MGs; instrumental soul. barbeque jams. summertime grooves. the bass is the chunkiest, the guitar is fuzzed out with reverb, the organ takes you to church. it feels good to say the very least.
However, earlier tonight i found out that this was released in 2002 and they're a group of young guys from Helsinki, Finland.
