BIO - SHORT
Fusing soul-rock, folk psychedelia, and and alternative R & B sound, amandla is fronted by Claude Coleman, Jr, the 25 years and still going strong veteran of Ween.
BIO - MID
Laughing Heartsis the new third amandla release on Claude Coleman, Jr.’s imprint Marshall Hotel Records and continues fusing the pop sounds of soul-jazz-rock, folk psychedelia, and alternative R & B, taking it to the road.
Much like its predecessor The Full Catastrophe – reviewed as ‘a minor masterpiece’ – Laughing Hearts was created during a period of personal collapse for the veteran Ween drummer, followed by relocation, resettling and regrowth. It is the portrayal of journeys and landscapes, and the discoveries of new truths. Recorded in studios across the country, Laughing Heartsincludes special guests such as Kirk Kirkwoodand Mike Dillon. The record has garnered raving early reviews, and is perhaps the most potent amandla release yet.
