Here’s what the good folks over at Lovemonk had to say about it:

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we are head over heels with Wild Honey. How could we not? His album “Epic Handshakes And A Bear Hug”, apart from sporting a rather fantastic title, is a delicious slice of intimate, folk-tinged pop taking influences from anything from The Zombies to Michel Legrand and Disney soundtracks. Take “Gold Leaf”, for instance: a quirky, sweet and lo-fi bossa nova ditty with gorgeous boy-girl vocals. It could come straight from that “The Party” soundtrack. If Hrundi V. Bakshi could sing, that is. And “Kings Of Tomorrow” is just like opening the window on a Sunday morning and the day comes running at you shrieking with joy, arms stretched out ready to hug you and jump around like children at a garden party.

On this here 7”, Amerigo Gazaway, the man from the utterly fantastic Gummy Soul collective and one of Kanye West’s new favourite producers,  slows “Gold Leaf” down, emphasises Anita Steinberg’s vocal and gets rid of the Carioca influence, and almost all of the instrumentation, for that matter, in favour of a more melancholic vibe, with a simple but effective hip-hop beat and some sweet keyboards. On the flipside, dream-pop boy wonder Cheky, a.k.a. Algodón Egipcio (Lefse Records), turns “Kings Of Tomorrow” into a gliding, then slightly euphoric piece of synthy goodness with Robin Guthrie-like guitars, which will have your inner hipster wave their horn-rimmed glasses in the air like they just don’t care.”

Lovers Lane is a collection of love songs created by Gummy Soul founder Wally Clark. Inspired by 50′s doo wop, Clark set out to capture the innocence of young love and to give couples a fun, yet sincere soundtrack to their Valentine’s day. “Most hip hop love songs fall into either one of two categories,” says Clark. “Either they’re misogynistic and overly sexual, or they’re corny and softer than Cupid’s crack. I wanted to make something that was sweet, but not soft.”
So take a drive with your sweetheart. Buy her a shake at the soda shop. Hold her hand, and open the door for her. And maybe you will have your goodnight kiss down at Lovers Lane.

Released February 14th, 2012
Produced by Wally Clark

Amerigo Gazaway’s Fela Soul has been named one of NPR’s top 5 best Bandcamp albums of 2011! Get the full scoop below.

Taken from NPR Music:

Fela Soul is the sort of mash-up album that never gets tired. The concept is fresh and simple: Take the music of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and marry it with the raps of De La Soul. Fela Soul is the work of Gummy Soul producer Amerigo Gazaway, who makes his ingredients sound as if they were born to be together. (There’s also an instrumental version of the album that you can also download for free.) Nashville’s Gummy Soul, a boutique soul and hip-hop label, was founded by Walter Clark and started as a radio show on Vanderbilt’s WRVU.

Amerigo Gazaway’s Fela Soul has been named one of Soul Train’s Top 5 Best Independent Soul Albums of 2011! Check it.

With a surfeit of mash-up concept albums clogging the Internet, Gregg Gillis success stories are sometimes hard to come by. However, Gummy Soul producer Amerigo Gazaway is not a turntablist bounded by mere convention. Originally released for free download on Bandcamp, Gazaway’s Fela Soul is a boisterous production retrofitted with samples from cult hip-hop favorites De La Soul and Afrobeat creator Fela Kuti. But what’s most remarkable is that the wide-ranging stylistic format never feels overcooked. Fittingly enough, the 9-track album opens with De La Soul’s “Stakes is High”, a 1996 kiss-off to hip-hop commercialism. Fela Soul starts a good track record for Nashville’s independent Gummy Soul label, an idea that began on Vanderbilt University’s bygone terrestrial radio station WRVU.

“We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we’re working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.”

Taken from wearethe99percent.tumblr.com

“My ‘American Dream’ was hijacked by a system designed to disproportionately benefit those on top of the economic food chain. As a Dean’s List student with the top award for my major, I graduated from college this summer to virtually zero opportunities. The 99% aren’t lazy freeloaders but rather hard working Americans simply looking to fulfill their potential. I fully support the movement because our struggles are shared. I am the 99%.”
