Product Description

Apricot Morning is the second album release from Will Holland AKA Quantic. Blending the elements of hip hop and mid-tempo breaks with soul, rare funk and jazz, the Quantic sound ranges from down-tempo jazz infused chill out to tough funkfuelled breakbeats. The single 'Apricot Morning' is also included.

This sophomore full-length, Apricot Morning solidifies Holland's reputation, building upon the chilled foundations of his 2001 debut The Fifth Exotic with a body of tracks that deftly slides the soul and funk of his acclaimed Quantic Soul Orchestra project into the slow-motion down-tempo vibe characteristic of his earlier work. The opening title track lays out the sonic stall, with plentiful strings expanding into loping percussion, the click of a woodblock eventually giving way to some classy guitar riffery. Throw in a liberal scattering of afro beat, plenty of cheeky brass lines (both sampled and courtesy of sax wielding sister Lucy) and the resultant blend makes for some great home listening. Add a further dimension courtesy of the vocals of EQ, Bristol based hip hoppers Aspects and the wonderful Alice Russell--who gives it up like Carleen Anderson on the slick "Search the Heavens"--and Apricot Morning proves itself the most accomplished and ambitious album to date for Tru Thoughts.
