The Cherry Boppers are back with six fiery artifacts of promiscuous funk recorded in collaboration with vocalist, also from Bilbao, Patricia Reckless on this mini-album on 10-inch vinyl format. Pure rhythm from head to toes.

Active since 2004 and convinced defenders of jazz-funk and instrumental funk, there are very few examples of vocal songs in their discography. However, in 2014 they released the EP “TCB meet Dr. Baltz” (Brixton Records-Soul Series) in which they covered, successfully and with lyrics in Spanish, three standards of classic rhythm and blues. Now, after five years of publishing drought, they repeat the experience with the stellar collaboration of the vocalist, also from Bilbao, Patricia Reckless, musically trained in the band “Bohemian Soul”.

The powerful and educated voice of Patricia Reckless is perfectly assembled, like another instrument, in the compact rhythmic machinery of TCB, giving the 6 songs of this mini-album (the 6-track EP thing, does not quite fit) a structure, perhaps, more familiar to a non-specialized audience. But let’s not get lost, the textures, the silences, the “on the one!” hit, the breaks, the stately Hammond organ, the brilliant brass, the forceful bass lines, the precise percussions, the wah wah… they are 100% Cherry Boppers
