Hello. Exciting stuff has been happening here at Stranger Collective which means we need to make a glut of changes to our website.
Things are starting to take shape, but until we're ready to share what it's all about please feel free to look around the existing website. You'll be able to find out more about where the Collective has come from, what we've been up to over the last eight years and where we're headed.
This album was conceived on tour with the juicy threesome of TM Juke,
Alice Russell and Jack Baker and it seems like there is nothing quite
like a bit of alcohol to get a good thing kick started. The plan was to
rework a collection of songs in a carnival style, but the idea proved
to be too stimulating and ended up producing an album of completely new
work.
The result is a fusion of high energy funk, latin, samba and carnival
music designed to get you dancing around your house as though you were
in Rio or at Notting Hill carnival. Alice Russell takes control on one
of the tracks and the album also has the pleasure of vocals from
Andreya Triana, Gecko Turner and Kathrin deBoer of Belleruche. (Jaqueline Wild)
