The second installment of our "Louder Than Life" EP is out now on Funkatech Records, featuring the chunky tech roller 'Get High' and the soulful and funky 'Midnight', featuring the vocal talents of Jenny Bell. Here is what the press report says:
"The brilliant-but-still-scarily-young Far Too Loud emerge from their straight-up thug livin' in the tough streets of Guildford, Surrey, to deliver the highly anticipated follow-up to their massive 'Dis Da Rasta / The Touchdown' release on Funkatech earlier this year. Nobody envied the task of following up that record. We all predicted failure. Everyone thought that this time next year they would be on 'I Used To Be A Moderately Well-Known Breakbeat Producer, Get Me Out Of Here'. But no! Momma didn't raise no quitter! From out of nowhere comes Louder Than Life volume 2 to win FTL another few weeks of dreaming that they might one day be in a position to pay their studio electricity bill with the proceeds of record sales.
Originally conceived as a coursework project for Dom FTL's 'emotional therapy for angry young men' module at college, 'Midnight' features gorgeously intense vocals from Jenny Bell, matched against a deep liquid bassline and keys which dangerously tiptoe the line between 'emotional' and 'dodgy garage tune with sped-up Shola Ama vocal' (reminding the writer of this press release that he did in fact secretly like those dodgy 2-step tunes with sped-up Shola Ama vocals...), making it one of those rare vocal tunes that has got the phatness to keep the dancefloor happy. Look out for vol 3 in early 2007!"
Check the clips in the player to hear it. Also be sure to check out our forthcoming appearance on Jay Cunnings Kiss 100 FM show!
