{"product_id":"les-hommes-si-cosi","title":"Les Hommes - Sì, Così","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe heady sound-farrago of mondo jazz, pseudo-cinematronics and ‘60s Rio batucada has made London’s Les Hommes favourites with promoters and listeners seeking a more out-there and varied live experience. Borne from the late ‘90s jazz and lounge scene, with compositions centred around a very dusty Lowrey electric organ, drums, conga and percussion, Les Hommes combine mid-century-cool small group moods with contemporary arrangements and sound-sources. Reaching cult status with their global super-smash single and paean to lounge ‘Intraspettro’ and the hugely popular LP Les Hommes on Schema Records, and ESL in the U.S., the outfit has established themselves within a unique niche in the jazz n’ groove panorama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir medium-cool profile has been apparent, with compositions featured on film and TV, and sold-out live performances, beginning in the early 2000s at venues like London’s Jazz Café and more recently for the EFG Jazz Festival. 2017’s aurally globetrotting, Arabia-vibing LP The Sinner, took them further out, with live appearances on BBC 6 Music and new fans drawn into their exoticised world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJump cut to right now, and Les Hommes’s 2024 release \u003cem\u003eSì, Così \u003c\/em\u003eon Sudden Hunger Records has landed. It’s a plasma-rippling suite of jazzified cuts that includes pulsar-driven groovetronics, folky modalisms in waltz time and dreamvitations to the cine-lounge. Throughout, organist and leader Rory More re-explores his mid-century Lowrey organ; its oscillators scorched as if on some planetary re-entry. Mellifluous bass clarinet and Arcadian flutes join plangent electric piano and woody, orotund-and-echoing percussion. Resonant vibraphone tranquilly pierces the aural nimbus. The variations-on-a-theme blueprint is there also, this time with a subtle mutation towards the moods of Roy Budd, post-‘60s expressions and beyond. — (via Label)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3Lq90iNbKnXxfzoeoCL5wV?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Sudden Hunger Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Latin\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Batucada, Jazz-Funk, Exotica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Soul-Jazz \/ Jazz-Funk\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sudden Hunger Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541306405022,"sku":"5050580827844","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1000924964_10.jpg?v=1732087523","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/les-hommes-si-cosi","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
