Mitch Laddie Band - Another World (2018)

After three years of touring, writing and learning Mitch Laddie Band are back with their third studio album, "Let You Go."

Following the critical and commercial success of their last studio album, Burning Bridges, and live album, “Live In Concert” the group have spent the intervening time polishing and maturing. Exercising full creative control for the first time, Mitch Rhian and Matt have distilled their tight, volcanic musicianship into a potent and soulful funk.

More accessible than the virtuoso fret trickery of earlier efforts but no less delicious to fans of meteoric musicianship, "Let You Go" plays with idea of distancing from experiences and expectations. It is the testament of three young adults maturing, overcoming relationships, obstacles and doubts.

The theme of emancipation-of the galvanising freedom of leaving behind the things that drag you down-is amplified by the optimism and relentless toe-tapping funk of three masters of the craft.

The contrast of talent and youth has always taken newcomers to the Mitch Laddie Band by surprise and the newest effort warps expectations of what a three-piece band producing their own record can be capable of.

Fans of the band, lauded across the UK and Europe, will already be aware of the searing yet infectious groove of Mitch, Matt and Rhian. Even they will be astounded by the progress made across every area of the album. Vocally, Mitch continues to develop range and tone, dragging chins up and down with Michael Jackson worthy melodic hooks snapping into James Brown barks when it’s time to get funky. A guitar tone at times dripping with fuzz and grizzle transcends to scintillating, sharp clarity from track to track.

The spine of the album is a riff re-spawned four times over, a snapshot of the invention, innovation and playful mastery oozing from every beat.

"Let You Go" is the Mitch Laddie Band with all constraints removed. Matt Connor and Rhian Wilkinson unleash atomic precision and relentless groove, creating a pinball machine for the electric Mitch Laddie to bounce around inside. This is the story of ambitious young people confronting the past and dancing in its face.

Marked for greatness from an early age by Blues behemoth Walter Trout, Mitch Laddie has been honing his virtuoso guitar playing on the big stage since being signed to Provogue Records at 17.

He has released two albums to critical acclaim, and is known throughout the european scene as a volcanic guitar genius with musical subtleties and a maturity far beyond his years, cemented when follow-up album 'Burning Bridges'” was voted 'Best Blues Album of 2012' by Blues & Soul Magazine.

The band had the pleasure of being invited to be a part of "BluesFest" at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 2014, having their set recorded by the BBC and tracks played on Paul Jones' BBC Radio 2 show, with Paul Jones describing Mitch as "the real deal."
