The Laurel Collective are a newer indie band from London. They haven’t really made a name for themselves, although they seem to have a decent amount of buzz. Their sound is, from what I have heard, very unique, and they definitely seem to have a bright future. Thanks to TLC, we have this album before it goes to retail next week.
the Laurel Collective are a genre trashing 6 piece who marry the soulful vocals of Martin Sakutu with some percussion driven, rhythmic indie, wistful melodies and co-singer Bob Tollast’s skewed, darkly humorous lyrics. Throw in some dancehall rhythms’ driving bass and a love of vintage synths and you get a formula that’s won them a deal with Double Six Records, an offshoot of Domino, who will release the single Vuitton Blues to worldwide hysteria, shortly followed by the earth shattering mini album, “Feelgood hits of a nuclear winter” out on May 12th.
