This collaboration between Los Angeles’ The Gaslamp Killer and Britain’s funkiest band, The Heliocentrics, is one of those lucky finds you stumble into every now and then, and I say this as someone who isn’t too big a fan of hip-hop. From the release’s Bandcamp site:
“The stars would align a few years later, as The Heliocentrics would go on to tour with the GLK Experience as his backing band. This laid the groundwork for a monumental collaboration that was recorded at Quartermass Sound Lab, and would take many years to complete.
The resulting album is a testament to the unique sound and influences of both GLK and The Heliocentrics, and is a prime example of the groups’ experimental approach to music. The partnership showcases the Heliocentrics’ ability to effortlessly blend genres while GLK’s ear for rare and eclectic sounds further cements his status as one of the most innovative producers around.”
