Liner Notes
Leeds bred some of the tightest funk this side of the Atlantic, and the New Mastersounds proved it repeatedly on stages from small clubs to festival mainstages through the 2000s. Masterology pulls together the essential threads of their catalog, making it an ideal entry point for the uninitiated and a satisfying overview for longtime followers who've watched Eddie Roberts and company refine their Hammond-and-guitar-driven sound into something unmistakably their own.
Over the past dozen-plus years, England's widely celebrated New Mastersounds have been at the forefront of an international musical revolution. Rising from the fertile club culture of their hometown of Leeds, the adventurous foursome--which now numbers guitarist/producer Eddie Roberts, bassist Pete Shand, drummer Simon Allen and Hammond organist Joe Tatton--has drawn upon a deep knowledge of old-school R&B, soul, funk and jazz to create powerful, distinctive new music that's rooted in tradition yet consistently innovative and forward-thinking.
