The Degrees

A 12 track acid jazz album (47m 2s) — released March 31st 2023 on Fallen Tree - 1 Hundred

#electronic #acid-jazz

Recorded back in 2020 by producer Charlie Bierman aka DJ Break, and singer-songwriter, Isha Campbell at the legendary Rockfield Studios, The Degrees' debut album The Day Out of Time finally sees the light of day on Goldie's boutique Fallen Tree 1Hundred label.

The album delivers 12 slices of soul, funk and jazz with a distinct Bristolian trip-hop edge that despite feeling very of the now, does add a subtle vintage feel overall. 90s culture raises its hand throughout thanks to sound-system-tinged soul jams like Need You and Nothing Else spread between the sweeping, cinematic ballads of Blinded and No Escape – these two, in particular, are ghostly reminiscent of classic Massive Attack or a string driven Portishead epic of yesteryear.

The Day Out Of Time aims to provide an authentic 'artist album listening experience that, if we're honest, is generally gone in today's playlist-driven streaming world, the music alone stands up here and The Degrees' debut has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Sit it in your record collection next to Blue Lines, or Smokers Delight...

Oooof! This album is killer. Modern soul /RnB production but you can really feel the classic soul n funk influnces in the prhasing and the musicianship. .Hard to pick a favourite with so many winners but Of The Night's arrnagement and strings really puts you somehere else same with Blinded. .Fully supporting. - Midnight Riot

Such a gorgeous album this is! Started listening to the songs with the intention of not spending too much time but to just get a taste of the whole thing... I ended up hooked, listening to the entire album! Such a great one! Compliments. - Di Costa

Ssssssuperbly soulful in a different way - John Varnham

What an LP this is, simply beautiful!!! - D3EP/hOUSE/wORX

Beautiful soulful compositions and production is seamless - Deep Tenor City

The album's clear Portishead influences in the arrangements are surpassed by an extra injection of soul in tracks like - Cafe Lounge, Sydney

what a voice. Really love the feel of this whole album - Illicit Grooves

Oh, man ... I loved listening to this. The production is stellar and the ballads are all top-notch. Thanks! - 8Sided

A marvellous album. Fully and beautifully realised project that's already got me searching for more downtempo gigs. just so I can play it to people! Really deserves to be widely heard and equally widely appreciated. Faultless. - Nick Titchener

Nothing Great album, hard to pick one as a fav. Massive Attack, Young disciples and a bit of Zero 7 amongst others, sounds great. - Groove City Radio
