We’ve been toying around with the idea of a "NYC Trip Hop Revival" couple of times already in the last couple of months – in particular for this – but, before we do it again, it should be stressed that many of the trip hop bands of the ’90s sounded actually more like "trip soul with hip hop beats" than anything: for example, Portishead’s or even Morcheeba’s lead singers never even tried rapping. Brand new NYC quintet The Mighty Jones inserts itself in this innovative musical wave by marrying the edgy electronic arrangements of the former with the more melodic and soulful vocals of the latter. The group will be celebrating the release of their debut album "Gone Long" with a show at Union Pool this coming Saturday December 12.05. Check out single "Rumblepack," streaming below.
