Ernie Hood – Back To The Woodlands

Sweet Company is the second LP from Jabu, the trio of producer Amos Childs and vocalists Jasmine Butt and Alex Rendall. The group is closely tied to Bristol-based bass collective Young Echo and bring much of the same dub-infused, leftfield electronic sound to this release. Mostly vocal-driven but textural in a carefully minimal and restrained way, Sweet Company is intimate, modern R&B at its finest and feels a lot like the sounds of love and “life played out in a room, a bubble, a home, a head.” Recommended for fans of Ana Roxanne, Tirzah, Tara Clerkin Trio, CS+Kreme, etc.
