August 27 street date. Secret Stash Records is proud to partner with Minneapolis based Black Market Brass for the first in a series of 45s containing new music recorded by the label. Black Market Brass is an 11 piece Afrobeat band that delivers a unique, yet very authentic interpretation of the genre. 'Big Muffler' is a hard charging tune that always keeps asses moving on the dance floor. 'Snake Oil' is an intricate song that mixes heavy grooves with an intensely eerie vibe. Both tracks were recorded live in one room directly to tape, capturing an energy lost in many of todays over produced digital recordings. This 7" is a must have for any fan of Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat sound.
February 2 street date. Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Black Market Brass is a 10-piece group performing their own brand of originally composed Afrobeat/Afrofunk music, as well as completing authentic renditions of the classic 1970’s West African sound.
February 28 street date. Black Market Brass' sophomore record, "Undying Thirst", is a noxious brew of diesel and bleach; a special long-player full of wasteoid rippers for skullduggerous hover-bike gangs peddling fugazi relics and snake oil tinctures. Hellacious guitars, nitrous-charged percussion, a brass section harsher than paint-thinner, and a special batch of short-circuited electronics and synthesizers will leave your head buzzing into the 31st century. Blasting "Undying Thirst" from your home speaker system is like going over a waterfall in a rusted out oil barrel, long after the sun has boiled the falls dry. RIYL Antibalas or The Budos Band.
