The Hypnotiks unveil their latest work, "Stone Cold Sober," featuring Wolfgang Valbrun's unmistakable vocals. Arguably, one of the most active soul and funk bands to come out of Paris, The Hypnotiks have been melding downtown soul vibes with uptown funk so many times you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a (great) collaboration from 40 years ago rather than just another example of their still evolving signature sound.
The group falls back into their signature vibe on "Stone Cold Sober," with heavy-hitting grooves rich in instrumentation and a party-ready atmosphere that draws you straight into their musical environment. The song exhibits the longtime dedication to old-school musicianship, mixed with a new-age, club-ready vibe. There is a unique, soulful level to the record, lent by Wolfgang Valbrun, that adds a sing-song twang atop an already rhythmic, deep rhythm, giving the accompaniment a wave.
The production, both tightly wound and organic, evokes the rawness of a live performance while maintaining studio quality. In this collaboration with Wolfgang Valbrun, The Hypnotiks continue the collective's tradition as a driving force behind today's European funk revival. "Stone Cold Sober" is an embodiment of groove, togetherness, and soul eternal.
