Will Holland keeps on with his musical mission under his Quantic Soul Orchestra guise with the follow up to the huge selling Stampede album which truly defined the nu funk genre and planted the seed for a whole new generation of funk bands to come out of the closet.
"Putting something back" is Will Holland's reason for starting The Quantic Soul Orchestra. After releasing electronic/studio-based albums as Quantic he wanted to work on a strictly live project, to "put the funk back in it", and to pay homage to a genre that continues to heavily influence his releases. QSO is his chance to record and produce an album with creative and like minded musicians. The Orchestra make killer funk with enough bottom-end to burn any dance floor, and the album features several tracks with the super powerful vocals of Alice Russell.
Drop any idea that this may be retro indulgance, QSO tracks are rough, raw, and real, flaunting a deep funk sound that is bouyed by great songs, heavy bass lines, cracking drums, and a full horn section. From the driving "Pushin' On", the Latin-tinged version of "Feelin' Good", Brazilian-influenced "Paintings and Journeys", and the infectious "Hold On Tight" this is essential listening. "Get A Move On" was recorded especially for Mr Scruff, a big Quantic fan.
This is 25-year-old producer Hollands sixth album release and the sheer quality of the music keeps improving. After an almost sell-out Aussie tour last year we can expect this to be huge Chicken strut wigged out funk madness! Back with a brand new nine piece band this album makes a statement. QSO are back bigger and better than ever.
