Matthew E. White
●

This single, taken from the hirsute Virginian’s forthcoming debut album Big Inner, arrives like a big, cuddly space-jazz hug. It sounds surprisingly fresh considering the obvious nod to the warm, hypnotic funk and soul of a late 60s and 70s golden era, like a cool rare vinyl handed down from father to son that’s managed to lose none of its original charm and still gets the youngsters dancing.

Big Inner is out January 21 through Domino and you can catch Matthew E. White live at The Lexington, January 23.
