Search - Sunrize :: Sunrize

The one and only album from Sunrize, a cool little group who get some heavy help on production and arrangements from the Isley Brothers and Chris Jasper. The groove here is a nice extension of the Isley vibe of the time, a bit more bassy at points, clearly going for the ensemble funk style of the time, but also a bit smoother and mellow at different points too, with that gentle glide we love so much in later Isleys material. Our favorite cuts are actually these more laid-back numbers which still seem to manage a nicely slinky groove, even when slow.
