This is my favourite new release of the week so far (although it was
released 10 Jun 2021). It's a 13 track album "Bound I & II" from a
Hawaiian group called Bound, which is actually a combination of their
first six track EP Bound, released in Feb 2019, and the follow up Bound
II with another seven tracks.
The "Bound" EP is available on the usual DSPs but "Bound I & II" only
appears to be on
BandCamp
at present
There's not much info. on them except that they are four guys from
Honolulu, Sam Willis (keys), Andrew Garma (drums), Riley Pa'akaula (bass) and
Nick Kurosawa (vocals) and they only appear to have released the "Bound" EP in addition to this album.
I heard "Right Timing" which drew me to them, but listening to all 13
tracks, I don't think there's a bad one. A superb album, highly recommended.
I don't rate releases above 9 very often but this one is well
deserving!
UPDATE I found this album late last night and have listened again this morning and this album is just so good, every single track. Rarely do you find an album which you can just let play all through without skipping, especially with 13 tracks!
I managed to find a live video of them performing the best track "Right
Timing" and with a bit more digging discovered that
Nick Kurosawa, the vocalist, has released a couple of albums and four or five
singles/EPs since 2018 including one this year.
If anyone connected with the group reads this then please get in touch as
I'd like to learn more about them as I can't find any social media for
them.
