The Texas Gentlemen – Floor It! [Indie Exclusive] [Colored Vinyl]

Released by New West Records 2020

While the Gentlemens sound is clearly steeped in the classic roots, rock and pop music of the 60s and 70s, theres a dreamy (the lilting Sing Me to Sleep), spacey (Skyway Streetcar) and occasionally progressive (Dark at the End of the Tunnel) element to what they do that seems to detach the music from belonging to any particular place and time. Add in elements of funk, soul, country, r&b, southern rock, gospel and essentially any other style that catches their musically omnivorous ears; an expansive and detailed approach to arrangement that sees the songs adorned with all manner of horns, strings and heavenly background vocals (Hard Road) and you have a collection of tunes that is more than just a mere album. Rather, Floor It!!! is a rich and righteous ride.

“This jammy rock group came out with a very original record that captures the feeling of drinking beers and hanging with your buddies in the backyard of Texas. I love that the inside is a board game. We’ve sold this recordoverseas to Australia and I think it’shighly underrated” – Kate Siamro (Spinster Records)
