El Michels Affair - Adult Themes (LP)

No, El Michels Affair is not new to the business. El Michels has worked hard, in countless midnight studio sessions and on a world tour for the Wu-Tang Clan. And one thing is clear: the band has aged in a good way in the process. After coming out of nowhere with the instrumental album "Sounding Out The City" in 2005, the studio-focused collective, led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Leon Michels, has earned fans on every continent. The group is known for its indulgent soul instrumentals, but also for its Wu-Tang covers, as evidenced by the explosive response to its two albums, "Enter The 37th Chamber" (2009) and "Return To The 37th Chamber" (2019). But all that is ancient history, as the band's most well-rounded and mature album, appropriately titled "Adult Themes," proves the new instrumental heights they have scaled. The album, which Michels describes as a "soundtrack for an imaginary movie," is a collection of opulent, abysmal, complex and often very funky tracks that will make ears vibrate and heads nod.
