Album Theme: The Hammond. Listen to The Gentle Groove, The Undercover Guys, Sunken Living Room and Hot Pants in France. Slip into a smoke filled lounge where a clueless detective works the night shift. Greasy Hammond riffs coil around wah guitar stabs, low slung bass and brushed kit grooves, oozing retro swagger straight from a '70s crime series. Equal parts cheeky funk and noir cool, these tracks stake out every shady alley with a wink.
