The Olympians – Midnight Movement

“In 2016 the Olympians – an all-star soul combo featuring members of The Dap-Kings, The Expressions and the Menahan Street Band – landed on Daptone with a fine debut album. Three years on, the Toby Pazner helmed group returns to action with a brand new “45”. A-side “Midnight Movement” is a particularly sweet and ear-pleasing affair, with the band layering sweeping strings and lilting horn parts over a jaunty, piano-dominated instrumental soul groove. Over on side B, “Stand Tall” is a sharper, punchier and slightly funkier affair, with the band’s fuzzy horns and fluttering flute solos rising above a Blaxploitation era-influenced backing track.” – Juno Records
