Definitely my favorite disc this year (so far), "Antique Soul" from Smoove & Turrell came out of nowhere...I also can't find any info on these guys other than the fact that John Turrell has sung with a number of British soul bands, and Smoove is a DJ. They're currently on tour in the UK...would love to see these guys live here soon. Below is another good video I found of them performing "You Don't Know" live....
One EskimO is an act I've written about before...they'll be at Mountain Jam next week. They're a mellow act that centers on Kristian Leontiou's atmospheric vocals and sparse instrumentation. The disc is very good, and the single "Kandi" is great...it features a sample of the great 1971 Candi Staton song "He Called Me Baby" (hence the title of the One EskimO song). Don't ask about the spelling of the band's name, I have no idea why the affectation. They should be good live, looking forward to seeing them.
