Night Owls - Hercules 7"
SKU: FSPT1039
Description:
To round
out their second wave of 7" singles, Night Owls bring the heat once
again with their signature sound and vision. Re-imagining two Aaron
Neville classics, “Hercules” feat. Alex Désert and The Lions b/w
“Tell It Like It Is” feat. Asdru Sierra from Ozomatli, Night Owls
up the ante by bringing in some heavy hitters for both sides of
this 45.
Side A's "Hercules"
features long-time collaborators and bandmates from The Lions
(Stones Throw, Ubiquity, NYCT) - the soulful tenor of Alex Désert
(also Hepcat) on lead blending seamlessly with the familiar voices
of Deston Berry (Hepcat) and Malik Moore (Ocean 11) on backing
harmonies. The Lions front line locks in tight from the many years
performing together on top of a darker and grittier interpretation
of Allen Toussaint’s masterpiece complete with fuzzed-out guitar,
Space Echoes and rhythm drops.
On the flip, "Tell It Like
It Is" keeps the momentum going and hips swaying with added
Colombian percussion elements and California lowrider vibes.
Featuring L.A. family and multi-talented vocalist of Ozomatli,
Asdru Sierra, on lead and Night Owl Dan Ubick on backing vocals
Side B creates a unique blend of reggae and Cumbia into a very
fresh take on this multi-generational hit.
