Pleasure Cry
I've given the vintage photographs thing a rest recently- become a bit of a cliche innit? But this Jacques Henri Lartigue picture from about a century ago of a woman sunbathing and rewinding the gramophone is pretty special.
Sean Johnston's Hardway Bros return with a four track 12" of proper dance music, the sort that should be heard in the dark backroom of airless nightclubs or outdoors somewhere as the sun goes down/comes up. The ep's title track is this song, vocals by Sarah Rebecca, a sultry groover with a dirty bassline and takes that old house music plus sex vocal thing and sends it out of your speakers and into your ears/loins. Cymbals tap away, kick drum thumps, 'my legs are like butterflies...this is my pleasure cry'.
That bass line is something else, though it really needs to be played at neighbour worrying volume. The photo is also terrific.
