Everybody''s Business - a new record from Captain Coconut.
Produced by Daniel Knobler, mixed by Alan Evans (of Soulive)
Captain Coconut’s second record, Everybody''s Business, produced and recorded by guitarist/bandleader Daniel Knobler and mixed by Alan Evans of Soulive, is a well-conceived collection of contemporary groove music with deep roots in classic funk and soul.
From the vintage funk of the opening cut "166 & 9th" to the otherworldly sounds of "Oscar,“ from the slow jam of the title track to the Eddie Harris-style fusion of "Atop an Underground,“ Everybody''s Business delivers tight, sophisticated tunes with inventive arrangements and a deep pocket. The band also collaborates with two guest vocalists, Jon Seale and Eva Imber, showcasing its finesse in a pop context. Everybody''s Business harnesses the power of the band''s contagiously funky live show and builds upon it with studio savvy and supreme musicianship.
