The New Mastersounds: New Album, Summer Dates

BREAKS FROM THE BORDER OUT AUGUST 9

Breaks from the Border

UK Soulsters The New Mastersounds will be releasing their seventh studio album and first album ever recorded on U.S. soil Breaks from the Border August 9 on Tallest Man Records. This album ushers in a new era in the bands sonic landscape, by topping their unique syncopated grooves with group vocal stylings. Instead of heading back to their home town of Leeds to record, the band took a detour to tiny border town of Tornillo Texas to record at Sonic Ranch Studios. The triple digit dry heat, and scenic studio setting, in the middle of a large pecan farm, provided sonic and lyrical inspiration for the album, cleverly titled for the setting in which is was recorded.

The funk powerhouse which includes Eddie Roberts (guitar), Simon Allen (drums), Peter Shand (bass) and Joe Tatton (keys) are touring throughout the Summer doing festivals and club dates.
