But after its release, Terry Cole aka \u003cstrong\u003eLeroi Conroy\u003c\/strong\u003e spent much of his time growing his indie soul label Colemine Records and producing records for others (Okonski, Parlor Greens, Wesley Bright, Black Market Brass, Kendra Morris, Rudy De Anda, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Andrew Gabbard) as opposed to his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, eight years after many of the rhythm tracks were put to tape on the trusted Tascam 388, \u003cem\u003eA Tiger's Tale\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLeroi Conroy\u003c\/strong\u003e's debut LP, will be released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is conceptualized as a hypothetical soundtrack to an alternate telling of Rudyard Kipling's \u003cem\u003eThe Jungle Book\u003c\/em\u003e. The narrative here being man's quest to tame and bend nature to his will...and nature's response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is a mix of triumphant instrumental scores alongside absolutely grim, dark, and at times dissonant moody tracks. The underlying element of hip-hop's sample culture is obvious throughout and there's no doubt many of these tracks will be flipped in the years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, the record fits right in the cut alongside many other Colemine instrumental artists: dirty lo-fi drums, blaring horns, wah guitar, Hammond organ, and plenty of cinematic sprinklings like flute, nylon guitar, and vibraphone. Drums are courtesy of Cole's longtime collaborator Rob Houk and are truly the backbone of the record. And with a couple of features from Colemine artists Kelly Finnigan and Jimmy James, the record is truly a family affair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: To Be Sampled\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colemine","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue \/ Pink","offer_id":51750962331979,"sku":"R4033-5559","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51750962364747,"sku":"R4033-0841","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51750962397515,"sku":"R4033-5584","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8c4d0b94-599e-cdd1-ffcd-a6d0303fd69d_8ed144bc-ecee-4eb4-86d1-d225e5a038fc.jpg?v=1752307428"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/leroi-conroy.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
