No Matter The Season

by Eamon

supported by

vikjha This album is an instant classic. I'd never heard of Eamon until day before yesterday, thanks to a random recommendation by Spotify. Eamon has soul for miles! He's got that classic Steven Tyler kinda twang with the gritty, throaty, whispery drawl he commands. Eamon is an exciting, new (for me) talent to discover. And if you haven't heard Good News yet, get that done immediately. Best song of 2022. Favorite track: Good News.

about

Eamon put a new spin on samples from the Now-Again catalog, crafting beats from various African rhythms such as Amanaz’s Zamrock, the Hygrades Nigerian funk, and Ayalew Mesfin’s Ethiopian tezetas, which were expanded upon with a multitude of live instruments.

Likeminds, helmed by Chris Soper and Jesse Singer, two East Coast transplants to L.A. who are as comfortable chopping up samples on an MPC as they are playing classic instruments, using vintage microphones, or recording to tape, offer up what could be described as a West Coast spin on the revivalist soul sound championed by Daptone Records. “For sure, the album is soaked in an old school feel, but to still tap into the depths of my soul today is always the end goal,” Eamon states.

All but two tracks are based on Now-Again samples, using the classic rhythms as accompaniment to showcase Eamon’s emotional singing style that is still as honest and raw as when he was a 16, singing about heartbreak. The end result, No Matter the Season, is a celebration of the musical relationship between Africa and America and the thrilling soul music that relationship has spawned since the 60s and 70s.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
