Nostalgia 77 - The Sleepwalking Society
(CD/Digital/LP with CD) Tru Thoughts TRUCD227, 2011-03-31
The long-awaited fourth studio album from Benedic Lamdin a.k.a. Nostalgia 77, producer for Alice Russell, Impossible Ark Records, Lizza Parks, The Broken Keys (with Natural Self), Skeletons... featuring the vocals of German singer Josa Peit, is out on 21st March 2011 on Tru Thoughts. The Sleepwalking Society'comes almost four years after Everything Under The Sun - the last Nostalgia 77 studio album proper - in which time Benedic Lamdin has been busy as producer, engineer, musician and more on projects involving Keith and Julie Tippett, Jeb Loy Nichols, Lizzy Parks, Larry Stabbins, Alice Russell, Sara Mitra, Fringe Magnetic, Golden Age of Steam and his own Octet. Nostalgia 77's fervent fanbase has been clamouring for his return and can now rest assured that it has been worth the wait, as the spoils of those extra-curricular excursions inform a refreshed stylistic palette and intensity on the new LP. Although Nostalgia 77 is widely known as a jazz producer (with plaudits including John Peel< 'Play More Jazz' award, and Gilles Peterson's Jazz Track of the Year) The Sleepwalking Society'is rich with overtones of blues and folk and runs the whole range of influences from the different styles of music that he loves. "It feels great to provide another chapter in the Nostalgia 77 story…each time I return with more ideas and experiences from working on projects with other musicians", says Lamdin.
