Red hot land

Description

Having become over the years one of the leading groups of rural tribal blues in Europe, Hell's Kitchen arrive with a breath of fresh air in their Red Hot Land... After 4 albums, hundreds of concerts across Europe, this new record takes a broad-minded, clear-headed approach and, above all, a hot one. More than a turning point, it is an advance toward paths not yet trodden! A return to the source, or rather detours through calm. Hell's Kitchen evoke the Soul Music dear to their hearts, but also the sweetened atmospheres, the minimal and spellbinding feeling accumulated after so many years of touring, studio work and the other hardships of band life. This new record is the one we have always been waiting for. The one where Money B talks to us about his ancestors, his obsessions, his tropical loves, moving through his French, his unreal English and mixed languages from elsewhere. Multiple beats, famous technoid industrial atmospheres where the still-sharp bottleneck hovers over laid-back attitudes, Tom Waits in a glass, Dan Auerbach on the shoulder ... The sound is new, tense but not aggressive unless you look closely... Mixed at the legendary NYHed Studio by Matt Verta-Ray in analog, as blues logic would have it, the album sounds new and highlights both the tormenting ballads and the groove hits! Sexy lament to perfection for all ages, or love adventure in Latin lands... there is everything needed to cross from one side of the Atlantic to the other. In short, the three guys, the old buddies (well accompanied for the occasion since, in addition to Matt Verta-Ray's mix, Robin Girod of Mama Rosin and Moi J'Connais Records is in charge on half of the album!) take flight with an absolutely new record in which fans of the 70's, of The Roots, or of Captain Beefheart will get lost ... longtime fans and newcomers alike. Even calmer, or perhaps finally calm. We want to believe that it will never stop, to see them, to meet them. To understand this leap of faith. To know these guys who, in the shadows, give a personal touch to a lunar, rap-inflected and hearty blues.
