about
Lick in Heaven is the first real piece of music from Jessy Lanza since 2016's 'Oh No' album which was followed by a long stretch of live touring and DJing, culminating in a year long residency at BBC Radio 1.
It's an infectious piece of 4 4 pop, co-written with long-time musical partner Jeremy Greenspan. 'Once I'm spinning I can't stop spinning' sings Jessy, ' I'm going all the way'; the pop bounce and doorbell chime melody carefully camouflaging the fact that the lyrics are about getting really really angry, or in her own words 'Going Nuclear'
In the accompanying video she is the featured guest of the budget fictional cable show “Good Morning Ontario”, performing in front of an assembled audience of regular people, who each lose themselves to the music at the enthusiastic encouragement of the two presenters in their own special way. It's funny, sweet and apocalyptic all at once.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.

So hard to choose just one favourite, and I hover between this, Baby, School, and Teenage Birdsong. All absolutely banging in all the right (or left) places. vastnessofbeing
Charo’s “Love Three Ways” is a short, sunny slice of laid-back R&B, its ringing guitars & laid-back melodies the perfect spring soundtrack. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2018

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
