Norm De Plume – Ohio Replayed/ Stretchin’ Gretchen – (Plumage)

Well worth the wait as this follow-up to the Norm De Plume (Delusions Of Grandeur) 2011 release now appears on the horizon. But be quick as this is limited to 300 vinyl copies only. I say be quick because the slow-burning Funk of Ohio Replayed provides the perfect summer soundtrack with its hot filtered grooves gently unfolding to reveal hypnotic, harmonious vocals accompanying the sassy percussion. Meanwhile, Stretchin’ Gretchen loops a carnival of Latino vocals and beats, and then repeats it until distraction isn’t an option.
