Solid Bronze - The Fruit Basket (2019)

Delaware Valley's psychedelic funkateers Solid Bronze are releasing their debut album The Fruit Basket after having great success with their first single release in June, "The Invisible Man" including the B-Side Dub Mix by Lee "Scratch" Perry. The album also features several notable guests including guitarist Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton (Parliament, Funkadelic), saxophonist Dana Colley (Morphine), and Atlanta-based hip hop artist CLEW. Drawing on so many diverse influences and featuring notoriously genre-bending musicians, it'd be as misleading to call The Fruit Basket a Funk record per se as pigeonholing it as Rock or R&B. This music was designed to exist in its own time and space, not be crammed into any pre-existing mould.
