Too Slow To Disco 2

Rough Trade Shops loved Volume One so much, as we made it our compilation album of the year and now comes volume Two and it's just as great. It's a great snapshot of a strange, fascinating period of pop. It took DJ Supermarket just over a year to unleash this new compilation. This time he dug even deeper into the sundrenched, relaxed-funky, smooth and megalomaniac West coast sound of the late 70s / early 80s: from Singer / Songwriter-Funk, Yacht-Pop, Blue Eyed Soul to AOR-Disco. Tracks somewhere between delusion of grandeur and a mountain of Soul. Again there are 'Hall of Fame' honoured Mega bands like Hall and Oates or Michael Nesmith (from The Monkees) placed next to a completely lost troubled genius like Jimmy Gray Hall, who only released three promo 7 inches in his short life, that Mr Supermarket just rediscovered. The relevance of this sound for todays music is easy to hear: in the latest albums by Father John Misty, BC Camplight, Andrew Combs, Liam Hayes, Silk Rhodes, the complete soundtrack of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and even in the cocky sound of Austrian youngstersʼ Bilderbuch.
