FELA KUTI - He Miss Road LP art punk Kim Shattuck writes another batch

Kim Shattuck writes another batch of pop melodies that gracefully surf on the waves of her loud guitar and screams her brains out some more about dirtbag guys

Sadness can be life affirming

Let's Go Downtown" it's even celebratory - not of the excess

cathartic pop songs

FELA KUTI - He Miss Road LP art punk Kim Shattuck writes another batchHe Miss Road was created during one of Fela Kuti's most productive periods as an artist. This lush vinyl reissue (on long time Kuti curators Knitting Factory records) presents the fruit of lavish 70s funk combining with Fela's trademark Afrobeat sound. Using Ginger Baker as producer adds a nice footnote along with an opulent and psychedelic twist. Backed up steadfastly by Fela's Africa 70 band it's almost impossible not to feel the groove.
