Nostalgia 77's album 'A Journey Too Far' is out today!!

It is finally upon us. Nostalgia 77's new LP 'A Journey Too Far' is out today on Tru Thoughts. 

The fifth studio LP from Benedic Lamdin under his main Nostalgia 77 moniker, this album finds the respected producer, composer, songwriter and guitarist further developing his creative partnership with rising German singer Josa Peit, whose rich, quirky lead vocals grace nine of the 11 tracks; with country-soul supremo Jeb Loy Nichols (Island) singing the remaining two in his loose and charismatic style. 

With the lead single “An Angel With No Halo”; a stirring slice of noir-ish psychedelic folk epitomised the truly unique flavour of the record, gaining early support from Huey Morgan, John Kennedy, and Jamie Cullum, this LP unveils more tracks to great acclaim. 

Gripping instrumentals, deft production and Peit’s intuitive vocals lend this album an enigmatic pull, this is an album you don't want to miss out on. Buy it now from Tru Thoughts Etch Shop and iTunes.

We have always been extremely proud to work with this sensational New Orleans ensemble, and the fact we can now officially call them the Grammy-Nominated Hot 8 Brass Band is something that we will enjoy immensely!
