Nash Angeles [LP]

Gryph - Nash Angeles [LP]

Following the solid showing of global love and support for the collective Point Winona Sound Library Vol 1, LA's Elbow Grease label runs it back with a sultry summer scene LP entry from one of the compilation's most promising new talents. Nashville-born/LA-bred Michael Griffin aka Gryph's aptly-titled debut album Nash Angeles is a rare and refreshing example of true musical worlds colliding, that never loses focus of keeping the big fun in funky. The Tennessee-raised rock and blues guitarist/singer-songwriter's newfound passion for dance music roots and devotion to the sonic feels of his current Cali home base are on full display here. Along with the studio-ace touches of co-producer Dave Aju and a cast of brilliant feature vocalists and live session musicians, the LP offers up only the most adventurous twists on contemporary genre fusion -- from disco to dub, modern soul to post-punk, Italo to r&b, and jazz-funk to classic house music, all while firing loved-up arrows straight through the hearts of any dance floors or fellow party animals. 01.
