Search - Butti 49 :: Habit

Having attracted plenty of attention from all parts of the world with their remixes and a series of dazzling singles of their own Norwegian heroes Butti 49 aka Snorre Seim and Oyvind Jakobsen finally release their debut album on Exceptional Records. Their first full length album features Butti's inimitable and eclectic mix of funk, soul, beats, breaks, electronica and jazz the end result of which is, it has to be said, a very fine album indeed. From the frenzied guitar rhythms of Kongo Mongo to the more atmospheric Alan Accelerates the 49ers showcase an exciting array of musical flavors which manages to pull off that always difficult trick of presenting an appetizing variety of musical flavors which all complement each other and hang together as a cohesive album. Vocal duties on the album are taken care off by a number of guests including Emo, who has already released his own highly acclaimed album on Stereo Deluxe, and Mayia James who was first discovered working as part of Phil Ashers Restless Soul collective and has subsequently featured on recordings with Nathan Haines, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Mark De Clive Lowe. Mayia is of course the vocalist on the first single taken from the album, "Incurable." The whole album is a musical treat from beginning to end. Eleven excellent tracks full of new ideas and technical virtuosity which are guaranteed to remain on heavy rotation in your CD player for many months to come!
