Big news! Funk phenomenons Soul Clap will release their long-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed EFUNK: The Album debut on September 30. Four years in the making, the self-titled LP’s lead track, “Shine (This Is It)” featuring legendary singer Nona Hendryx, is set for release on August 19 featuring remixes from Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca aka Erodiscotique. The single was recorded along with the majority of the album at George Clinton’s What? Studios in Tallahassee. A tour promoting the sophomore effort will kick off September 30 at District 8 in Dublin.
The duo say the endeavor “started as an experiment using as many sounds from the Moog Sub37 as possible. We wanted to write something that felt as modern as it did retro, which is a typical frame of mind for us over here! It’s the big question how can you charge forward but always nod to the past? Shout out goes to Chuck ‘Tha Fonk’ Fishman and Sa’D ‘The Hourchild’ Ali from the Parliament-Funkadelic mob who put us in touch with Nona Hendryx who was such a pleasure to work with and got into the groove of this record effortlessly.”
