Unique Records Frank Popp Ensemble has really set things up nicely with the first single “Going Going Gone” featuring J Mahon from the new album, “Waves” and from the first needle drop, we were hooked and in full anticipation of the new album. When they say “the b-side wins again” this is exactly what they mean as we’ve absolutely fallen in love with the vocals and style. Mahon who can be heard on 5 tracks on the album and contributed significantly to the album. His sweet voice is very reminiscent of certain young Motown artists in the early 70s with its catchy brass hooks and J’s androgynous soul vocals.
On the album “Waves”, Frank Popp combines Northern Soul, Psychedelia, 90s Indie Rock and an orchestral soundtrack feel into a homogenous, convincing work that looks promising and feels damn good in a not so rosy time.
