Funky Lowlives - Somewhere Else Is Here

The long awaited 2nd album from the UK masters of down-tempo comes as this 2 CD set. The Funky Lowlives pull out all the stops to make what can only be described as a complete album, and one which gets even better with every listen. Opening with the sun-drenched 'Sail Into the Sun', the album alternates between vocal-led tracks and beautiful instrumental arrangements all laid over live percussion. Soul Jazz's Marshmello lays down the sultry vocals on 'Til I Left the Music' while friend of the band and vocalist, Ben Lord, provides the special finishing touch to the dreamy 'Float Through the Stars'. Meanwhile, 'Time to Let You Go', 'For Her Eyes', and 'Here Is Somewhere' are all superbly constructed instrumental arrangements bringing in strings, brass and everything in between. 17 total tracks including a 7 track Remix CD of 'Sail Into the Sun' & 'Super love'. High Note. 2005.
