Funkshy’s debut album ‘A London Rhythm’ is a multi-styled, many-layered melting pot of influences and styles brought together under the guidance of band leader Tansay Omar. The lead off track ‘Destiny’ has eastern and western vibes while the pacey beat of ‘Runnin’ has a New Beat feel laced with a strange vibe atmosphere. ‘Only Lover’ (again featuring Living Sounds) has a busy beat with dark edge production – a fusion of jazzy cosmic grooves and paranoid melodies that create a sense of tension. Debbralee Wells adds vocals in several tracks, the rolling ‘I Wanna Fly’ and the slow funk of ‘Smile’ being highlights. ‘Good To Dream’ and ‘I’ll Give You Peace’ show the band’s love of dub with slow, languorous grooves and further adds to their restless gathering of musical ideas. Different.
