Vicky Tafoya Love Dont Treat You Fair (Official Audio) DaptoneRecords 2023-01-12 | Pre-Order/Listen: daptone.ffm.to/prs1019.OYD Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Vicky sing live knows she's one of the most talented singers in the game.

"Love Don't Treat You Fair" is a tale of despair that creeps along like a long lost Little Willie John session for King.

Benny Trokan Hey Lover DaptoneRecords 2022-07-20 | Listen to the EP and pre-order the 45 here: daptone.ffm.to/bennytrokan.OYDBenny Trokan returns with another two sides of pure pop perfection! On a short break from his bass duties with indie rock legends, Spoon; and with a goal to track a song in a few hours, Benny gathered the troops and headed into Hive Mind studio. His version of The Five Emprees' “Hey Lover” (originally written by Don Covay) has been a long time staple favorite of Bennyʼs live set. So with Vince Chiarito (Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires, The Resonaires) behind the board, the gang hammered out their soulful, mid-tempo rendition by the Chicago teen-beat combo. On the flip is "Walking Back," a deep, brooding ballad that was recorded by Gabe Roth at Penrose studio in Riverside California. With haunting background vocals, eerie organ and Trokan's signature lament, this track creeps along at a lover's pace. Sure to turn some heads on the ever-growing low-rider scene. Anyone who slept on his first 45 take heed! Follow Ben Trokan:Instagram: instagram.com/bennytrokanSpotify: open.spotify.com/artist/6Zn1nOkMt4jm6oU9FNInHI?si=5rdA6DSMTxWdqbUQC5oTgA

The Frightnrs Always DaptoneRecords 2022-05-11 | Title track from the upcoming album from The Frightnrs. Always is out May 27th - daptone.ffm.to/frightnrsalways.OYDBefore Dan Kleinʼs unfortunate passing, The Frightnrs agreed to keep a promise he asked of them - continue making music together. Part of that promise has been made manifest on ALWAYS - the raw, soulful new long player from The Frightnrs.The road to Always began with a period of intense songwriting back when The Frightnrs and producer Victor Axelrod (Ticklah) were working on the group's debut, rocksteady masterpiece, Nothing More to Say. In addition to the scorchers heard therein, Axelrod and The Frightnrs agreed many of the recordings were too sweet to tamper with in order to fit the rocksteady mold. Some were created at their headquarters in Queens with Dan on the mic, some were elaborations on older ideas, others were brand new creations made at the finish line.Thanks to the vocal stems they had captured in this golden period, Dan Kleinʼs other-worldly voice lived on, giving The Frightnrs all the raw material they needed for an entire albumʼs worth of new, original music. So with that, The Frightnrs and Axelrod returned to the studio and painstakingly conceptualized, tracked, re-tracked and mixed them into a complete album with their beloved friend singing lead. The fruits of this arduous process lay bare the undying love and respect between musical brothers.The last song written for this album, "Why Does it Feel Like a Curse", married two song concepts with one of Dan's original vocal performances - creating a beautiful, flawless composition that not only serves as a highlight reel of their editing skills and songwriting prowess, but also as a kind of metaphor for The Frightnrs journey. The perfect ending for ALWAYS.
Michael Rault - Exactly What I Needed (Official Video) DaptoneRecords 2022-05-03 | Listen/Buy: daptone.ffm.to/michaelrault.oyd Video/Animation by Mark Neeley Wick Records is proud to present Michael Rault, the eponymous new album from one of the most talented songwriters in the game. A remarkable re-imagination of '70s pop perfection, the album began to take shape during a time of endings. Michael, on the cusp of turning 30 and freshly off the road promoting 2018's A New Day Tonight, had just ended a romantic relationship, and cut ties with his management and touring band. Returning home to Montreal where his van was already buried in six feet of snow, he hunkered down in his bedroom studio and began writing. Over the span of five months he penned most of the album. Bruised but certainly not beaten, Michael delivers a lush, timeless collection of songs - continuing his increasingly profound exploration into the worlds of progressive pop, psych folk, yacht rock and beyond. Trust us...you're gonna love it!Video/Animation by Mark Neeley
Michael Rault - Neither Love Nor Money (Official Video) DaptoneRecords 2022-04-05 | Listen/Buy: daptone.ffm.to/michaelrault.oyd Wick Records is proud to present Michael Rault, the eponymous new album from one of the most talented songwriters in the game. A remarkable re-imagination of '70s pop perfection, the album began to take shape during a time of endings. Michael, on the cusp of turning 30 and freshly off the road promoting 2018's A New Day Tonight, had just ended a romantic relationship, and cut ties with his management and touring band. Returning home to Montreal where his van was already buried in six feet of snow, he hunkered down in his bedroom studio and began writing. Over the span of five months he penned most of the album. From the drug-fueled, dance floor slow-stepper, "Neither Love Nor Money", to the introspective "Inside Your Heart", to the tongue-in-cheek playfulness of "Champagne", the body of work he created in this epoch of uncertainty is proof of just how crucial that time of endings really was. Bruised but certainly not beaten, Michael delivers a lush, timeless collection of songs - continuing his increasingly profound exploration into the worlds of progressive pop, psych folk, yacht rock and beyond.

On "Tangled Up" the pair sing of a love affair that has run its course but (against their better judgement) lingers in the form of late nightentanglements and dream-induced longing - imprisoning the lovers on a carousel of heartache and despair.

Orquesta Akokán - Guajira Del Mar DaptoneRecords 2021-10-13 | Off of Orquesta Akokán's sophomore album, 16 Rayos. A slow son-montuno with an arousing groove, this guajira arises from the dark lighting and social environment of the bars of New York. Vocalist Pepito Gomez's poetic and abstract lyrics touch on the themes of love and fantasy, and it is the first time the band has used strings to achieve the nuances of a fuller orchestra.

Orquesta Akokán - El Inflador DaptoneRecords 2021-09-14 | Buy/Listen: daptone.ffm.to/elinflador.oyd Cuban big band Orquesta Akokán returns with 16 Rayos on Daptone Records, a triumphant follow up to their Grammy nominated debut from 2018. Led by dynamic singer José "Pepito" Gómez, producer Jacob Plasse and arranger Michael Eckroth, and fused with the “island’s greatest instrumentalists'' (New York Times) from storied groups including Irakere, NG La Banda, and Los Van Van, the band united in Havana once again to record at Egrem Studios. The cohesion forged by several years of international touring (including stops at Lincoln Center, WOMAD Australia and New Zealand, North Sea Jazz Festival, Festival Salsa al Parque, Kennedy Center and many more) blossomed into an intimate dialogue between good friends, allowing for fearless musical exploration, risk-taking, development and expression. Contemporary sensibilities, mixed with a deep spiritual reservoir and knowledge of folkloric traditions, propel the grooves into previously uncharted vistas while dismantling the conventions of what is considered mambo.The band will return to the road for world-wide touring in Spring of 2022.
