Corduroy - Men Of The Cloth [LP]

Recorded to mark the 30th Anniversary of their debut Dad Man Cat and the follow-up High Havoc, Corduroy return with a new mini-album, Men of the Cloth. Sitting perfectly at the corded fringe between acid jazz and rising Britpop, Corduroy emerged in 1991 out of the ashes of cult band Boys Wonder, and made three increasingly brilliant albums on Acid Jazz. They also became one of the top live acts of their generation. After an 18-year hiatus, they returned with Return of the Fabric Four in 2018, and remain a draw on the live circuit. Featuring the popular sides from last years limited-edition 7" single "No More Me Me Me" and "Hypnotoad", Men of the Cloth features four new cuts from the same Corduroy cloth - a heady mix of swinging sixties soundtracks, pop art imagery and Jazz-Funk in equal measure. A must-have addition to one of the founding acts of Acid Jazz.
