Al Pride Spruced Up
The name says it’s a bloke, the picture tells us it’s a band. Yes, one of those, and they have a lively new EP out. “Spruce” contains four tracks, three have been premiered in a live session last autumn, the fourth, a snappy number entitled “Another Vibe” is entirely new. The EP is an appetiser for Al Pride’s next album, promised for August. It was released on 3 April by the Hamburg & Basel based Radicalis label.
Al Pride have been going for a quite a few years and albums, but recently they’ve expanded their personnel to become an octet with all sorts of extra brass and percussion. Theirs is a breezy and melodic style of pop, with hints of funk, reggae and other danceable grooves.
