"HOT POTATOES" is an album to discover ,
REFRACTORY a band to remember.
This album offers 15 boiled potatoes, steaming with electro, hip-hop and soul, buttery wah-wah guitars, creamy basslines, frenchfried piano keys, too hot to hold onto for too long, so listen and pass, listen and pass.
When the album is cool enough to touch, consume without moderation! .
Born of an alliance of electro beats and pure jazz sax, Refractory is an outright mix of the styles, fusing the duo’s origins with aspects cinematic and improbable, opening themselves to the world.
After the release of their first album in 2004 and apperances on compilation like Glucklich V or Blue Note, “Refractory”, with the addition of the korean singer Youn Sun Nah, Jean-Francois and Louis decide to leave France and see this world.
In a steamy underground New York jam session, they encounter Bruce Sherfield aka MC Jester.
Jean-Francois and Louis went searching once again and found Sena Dagadu, a vocalist from Hungary and Ghana. She has collaborated with notable names such as Dzihan and Kamien(couch Records) and DJ Vadim(BBE Records).
This african diva’s reggae soul brings yet another level of sound and edge to the music.
The third album is definitely the most thumping and most spare of the three efforts(keep sailing, documente the monkeys, over me).
Naturally, sparks fly from the mic passing between Sena and Bruce(IOU, city sciences). Relentlessly trying to find the new thing, he never hesitates to try, tirelessly reaching inside his text and flow to offer a meaning bigger in his interpretations.
In “Bistro”, He becomes the disgraced and stereotyped busboy, who wishes for more than his native Mexico can offer, but which New York takes too much from you.He and the dishwasher and waitress fall into an alternate dimension and…
In “Bruce’s Brain”, he comments on the philosophy of ‘cure the patient, kill the patient’, where the life of the subject is worthless in the detached halls of medicine.
Sailing between Jazz, Trip-Hop, Electro and Latin influences, the first album by Refractory could be a soundtrack of a contemporary urban movie.
