Description
The Beauty Room return with their second album following on from their self-titled 2006 debut on Peacefrog Records. Recorded in LA and London the record updates and hybridizes folk, soul, RnB and soft rock of the late-60s and early-70s. Producer Kirk Degiorgio re-unites with vocalist Jinadu on a deeply musical record channelling the likes of the Doobie Brothers, David Crosby and Brian Wilson with a fresh sound all their own.
Beauty Room II was recorded at Sunset Sound LA, British Grove UK, Olympic Studios UK and Studio Heuvellaan Holland using the best session musicians including Chris Whitten (Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Dire Straits), Rob Harris (Jamiroquai), Brian Bromberg (Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock) and engineered by Grammy-winning producer Peter Henderson (Supertramp, Frank Zappa). Perhaps the most exciting addition to the follow up is the incredible string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, David Bowie, Rolling Stones), which were recorded with the Metropole Symphony Orchestra in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Brilliant buried treasure to pleasure the cochleas of Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers and Brian Wilson fans
The Guardian
Something different, something fresh exactly what is needed in music right now. Stunning, proper music
Gilles Peterson, BBC 6 Music
Im absolutely blown away by them. If ever a bands name summed up its music, this is it
Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
Fans of singer/songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and the West-Coast scene will revel in the down tempo eloquence. Beauty Room II is Lush, romantic Rotary Connection type psychedelic soul beautiful played, sung and produced. Warm, human and spaciously beautiful, The Beauty Room will take you on a journey past wonderfully familiar landmarks to a place youve never quite been before.
