"Scarab" Released

Written by Joel Blizzard :: Wednesday, 15 February 2012 15:36

Recorded in one long weekend at Soulive drummer, Alan Evans' Playonbrother Studios, "Scarab" is all at once; a rebirth of eclectic soul, a groove therapy session, a deep revelation, a handclap and shout out party on the freedom train to the place where anything is possible. Lyrics explore without boundary - love for an unknown woman, fear of letting go, the mysteries of perception, the tragic effects of the war on drugs, having respect for elders, and that eternal constant known as change. Letting these words wash effortlessly over beats that are deep and funky, melodic interplay and mature songcraft, listeners will be greatly rewarded with a warm multilayered production that will find any audiophile turning the volume knob clockwise to reveal the depths. The songs on this album were only minimally edited, in order to maintain the "live" feel that so many have come to know as the Thousands of One show. This is a living, breathing work of art.

"One of Ithaca's most eclectic bands ups its game on this sophomore effort, which incorporates everything from soul and gospel to ska and rock. As always, Jhakeem Haltom shines vocally, and the rhythm section of drummer Joel Blizzard and bassist Brent Eva really locks into the grooves." - Jim Catalano, Ithaca Journal, 12/21 "Jimmie Awards"
