Currently garnering massive support from Gilles Peterson (and scheduled for a Worldwide session in early November) The Part Time Heroes deliver their debut release on Mums The Word, although you may recognise their name from the PTH Projects 12" on Wah Wah earlier this year. Drawing comparisons to St.Germain, Cinematic Orchestra, and Zero 7 this EP is an exciting, eclectic and fresh journey over different tempos, incorporating live instrumentation, deep jazz roots, folk and organic soul nourishing goodness.
Stunning opening track â??Realiseâ?? features the sublime vocal talents of regular heroes vocalist Jono McCleery riding a tide of widescreen jazz. The instrumental â??Brandon Heightsâ?? is awash with riffs, building with piano, bass, flute and brass to a culmination of merging melody lines. 2006 BBC â??Jazz Vocalist Of The Yearâ?? Liane Carroll guests on the swinging upbeat â??Shadowlandsâ?? while Lucy Kitchen sings the blues on the down-tempo, cinematic â??All This Timeâ??. No B-sides here â?? all the tracks stand up on their own as singular pieces of aural art.
