The Spill Magazine debuts the latest single from The Savants of Soul, “Honey Child”

Hoofing through the better part of a decade, Gainesville’s 9-piece retro-soul and blues amalgam The Savants of Soul have been threading the needle, pinpointing the evolution of their sound to the city of Muscle Shoals, where they recorded their latest record at Rick Hall’s legendary FAME Studios. Over the course of ten days, the band recorded 14 songs with acclaimed producer Vince Chiarito (Charles Bradley, Black Pumas) and engineer John Gifford III, Studio A manager, tenant and student of Rick Hall (Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Etta James), aka “the father of Muscle Shoals music.”

The neon wigged trio who make up Texan ghoul pop band Stretch Panic appear to have drawn a sparkly pentagram around a bunch of punk funk seven inch vinyl with sherbet and popping candy, summoning some sassy girl group succubi who (if there were a god) would be named Ronnie Spectre, to help them to create 13 refreshing paeans to queer love and imaginary monsters.

Lonesome Highway has high praise for Stuff Happens, the new album from Stuffy Shmitt, calling it “a treasure chest of honest and hard-hitting songs”

Stuffy Schmitt Stuff Happens Baby Robot Media lonesome highway review americana rock roll folk singer songwriter

A survivor, by the skin of his teeth, of decades at the bumpy end of the music business, STUFF HAPPENS is Stuffy Shmitt’s first album in eight years. Living in New York, at the end of his tether, battling bipolar disorder and on a self-destructive path, he made the crucial decision to finally ditch his deadly lifestyle in the West Village and attempt to rebuild his life. Moving to Nashville and getting himself correctly medicated set him on a path towards normality and regained sanity. 

With a clear head and decades of demons to exorcise, the resulting album is a treasure chest of honest and hard-hitting songs. Writing from personal experiences and observations Mommy And Daddy recalls his parents, once wild, carefree and unpredictable, now aged and weakening. The raunchy opener It’s OK speaks openly of a close friend, a walking car wreck who’s constantly messing up, despite the many helping hands offered to her. His vocals never sounded better than on the belter She’s Come Unglued. It boasts an addictive and killer riff and tells the story of a partner heading for a breakdown and  a crumbling relationship.  The striking piano led ballad The Last Song grieves a failed love affair and Sleeping On The Wet Spot is a self-deprecating yarn of recurring catastrophe, a possible recap on the writer’s often ill-fated life choices. 

An unusual yet exceptional combination of soothing ballads and hardcore rockers, STUFF HAPPENS plays out like a few genres melting together, by an artist with a hyperactive brain and on this occasion, firing on all cylinders.
