Vinyl LP pressing. The Pendletons return with their EP, Funk Forever, a jazz flavored boogie affair with soul inspired songwriting that evokes old school vibes while still staying fresh and current. Horn lines, Yamaha DX7 keys and snapping hip-hop inspired drum programming topped by sweet singing with heartfelt themes, the group carves out a bold new sound on these five solid tracks. Featuring Elive, Potatohead People and Ishtar. The Pendletons are a long-standing boogie-funk and modern soul project of E da Boss (of Myron and E on Stone's Throw) and Trailer Limon. The group emerged with their very first release in 2010, a seven inch that instantly became a cult classic receiving constant play at nights like Sweater Funk and Funkmosphere, and fetching for serious sums among collectors. Most recently, in 2016, they released the EP Gotta Get Out. The title track caught the ear of renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, who liked it enough to release it on his Brownswood Bubbler compilation. Now armed with a horn section, a vast array of accomplished jazz and funk contributors, and a knack for quality song-writing, the Pendleton's sound has shaped into something fresh and unique, setting it apart from the legions of imitators.
