UK funk-soul purveyor Adam Gibbons (aka Lack of Afro) has been dabbling with a variety of instruments since the age of 7, and after listening to his first long player Press On, there’s no telling that he’s going to stop anytime soon. For those who are fans of Quantic Soul Orchestra or The Go! Team, Press On is sure to impress you in its genre breadth and musical scope. “Touch My Soul” seems like a straight-up The Go! Team A-side with its hopscotch rhythms and its lo-fi warmth. The sexy “For You” has got an incredibly infectious beat that will conjure up thoughts of former underground heroes Jurassic 5 (a la ‘Concrete Schoolyard’). Overall, this is an thoroughly enjoyable album that is sure to spice up even the most wintry of days. So grab a blanket, curl up next to that stereo, and pump it loud.

Get your copy of Press On.
