Orgone – Moonshadows (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Los Angeles collective has been quietly one of the most dedicated practitioners of deep funk and soul on the West Coast since the early 2000s, building a catalog that never chases trends. Moonshadows finds them leaning into the smooth, coastal sounds that were always part of their DNA, proving that a band rooted in Afrobeat and southern soul has plenty to say in the language of mellow-groove California R&B.
Moonshadows, named for a glossy beachfront Malibu bar where members of the Orgone crew DJed Saturday night sets, is the band's homage to yacht rock, sweater funk, and late night cruises on the Pacific Coast Highway. The genre-bending full-length album evokes neon and moonlight shimmering on ocean waves, undulating rhythms, martinis, and luxury convertibles.There's nothing lightweight about this collection, however. All the hallmark elements of Orgoneproduction-gritty, deep, authentic sounds and heavy beats-permeate this ten-song LP. For this album, Orgone pulled from it's deep bench of talent to feature vocal performances and co-writing by Adryon de León, Woolfy, Masauko Chipembere, Terin Ector, Jamie Allensworth, and more. Moonshadows is a heady mix of lush vocals, classic drum tones, and late-70s vibes best served chilled in the late-night hours and made to keep you grooving through your second wind and into the hazy sunrise.
