{"product_id":"haunted-heart","title":"Haunted Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eLondon Garage Soul duo return with third album \u003ci\u003eHaunted Heart\u003c\/i\u003e. More Memphis, more Fuzz, more greasy foot-beating, party-greeting, soul-treating maximum RnB. And yes, more Cowbell. Jack Sandham (Guitar \/ Keys \/ Vox) and Wednesday Lyle (Drums \/ Vox) have straddled the Atlantic with the beat stampede of their songbook so far, but \u003ci\u003eHaunted Heart\u003c\/i\u003e sees them walk down the dark end of the street, drawing on Atlantic-era Ray Charles and Dusty, while still keeping on creeping on with the sweaty-hand shaky-knee Garage rock ear-worms. From the Sun Studio, Cramps-like swagger of the title track, to the paranoid Coasters swing and Doors-keys of \u003ci\u003eNone Of Your Business\u003c\/i\u003e, Jack’s urgent vocals yelp out from the first needle drop, stepping aside for Wednesday’s wink of the eye on the Holly Golighty \/ Black Lips femme-fatale fury of \u003ci\u003eDownlow\u003c\/i\u003e, which sounds like it’s been ripped straight from the beating heart of the Fillmore during the \u003ci\u003eSummer Of Love\u003c\/i\u003e. Produced by the band themselves at Soup studios in Limehouse, London, their early raw bare-bones sound has now been fully expanded with Jack’s sandpaper grit guitars and Wednesday’s freight train rhythms chased down with some glitchy synths and vintage organs (\u003ci\u003eDoom train \/ Neon blue\u003c\/i\u003e) as well as a drop of Delta gospel Blues on \u003ci\u003eNothing But Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e (also incidentally the first Cowbell song ever to actually feature a Cowbell). Otis and Pickett-era horns breathe seductively into the swampy-stomp of \u003ci\u003eWhat Am I Supposed To Do\u003c\/i\u003e, while \u003ci\u003eNew Kind Of Love\u003c\/i\u003e tiptoes onstage with its alluring smokey jazz piano as Wednesday brings a beautifully casual Peggy Lee type Fever to the microphone. But it’s with the curtain-closers on both sides of wax that Cowbell have really rung in the new, \u003ci\u003eSomething’s Gotta Give\u003c\/i\u003e swaps in gently plucked Laurel Canyon vibes, teardrop-stained and tie-dyed into a soul-stirring torch song. And just as we’re ready to step off this train, the last stop of \u003ci\u003eNo Wrong \u003c\/i\u003edrops us off in the sherbet-sweet swell of a Cowbell classic. A toast to Percy Sledge and Van Morrison, with a giddy gospel reprise that has Jack and Wednesday promise that they “won’t do you no wrong”. And they’re damn right. Haunted by name, haunting by nature. Flip it up and start again. More Cowbell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damaged Goods","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50497012859211,"sku":"1008826","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497014432075,"sku":"1008825","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/645d939e-d1fd-4299-a2f6-f9323f018c01_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727725642","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/haunted-heart","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
