Here’s the seven inch lead single off El Michels Affair‘s forthcoming second LP-length volume of cinematic, psychedelic Wu-Tang covers Return To The 37th Chamber – the sequel to 09’s Enter The 37th Chamber. Label mates Lee Fields and Shannon Wise of The Shacks feature on vocals on Tearz (a collaboration I like to think of as ‘tears of a Big Crown’ – thank you, I’m here all week) Wise from the start lending an ethereal quality to proceedings; Fields towards the end when the heavyweight drums kick in. Over on the flip is a rework of Raekwon cut Verbal Intercourse. All of which makes a release that’s more atmospheric than lower earth orbit. Tearz vid below and to get a wider overview of what the whole album will have in store, check the video trailer below that.
(Out 20 February on Big Crown)
