For fans of: Instrumental Soul-Jazz Grooves

What they're saying: From Lauren Halliday at the ecoustics blog: “The Dip have made a name for themselves with their tight horns, solid rhythms, and catchy melodies. They’ve expanded the universe of their sound on this release, which is immediately made apparent on opening track “Ángel de los Muertos” with its classical guitar riff and brooding horns.”

What we say: We’re excited that between these guys, Delvon Lamarr, and a handful of others, Seattle is now producing really really good soul RECORDS. This is perfectly recorded and sharply played, original twists on classic grooves. Fans of early Budos must hear immediately.
