I’ve said it before, but sometimes the releases land in the monkey’s digital inbox so thick and fast there isn’t time to keep up – and that’s after the ones that got binned because they weren’t MB material! Such a time is autumn and one release that got overlooked in the deluge is hot new single Cal High from The White Blinds. Like fellow organ trios such as the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio and Beat Bronco Organ Trio, these three have got serious skills and this is one hot slice of soulful, jazzy, uptempo Hammond funk. Naturally it deserves a video that suitably captures three players so absolutely in the pocket and that is provided by The Sunday Spins‘ Adam Walker in classy black and white at the track’s recording session last year in Boyle Heights, California. Sadly only a digital release, Cal High is the lead single off The ‘Blinds forthcoming LP PRESHEATECHA due early in the new year.
