“Simmerdown”, out 28th February on 7” vinyl and download, is the first single from Nostalgia 77’s long-awaited fourth studio album, ‘The Sleepwalking Society’, featuring the vocals of German singer Josa Peit.
‘The Sleepwalking Society’ comes almost four years after ‘Everything Under The Sun’ - the last Nostalgia 77 studio album proper - and in that time Benedic Lamdin has been busy working variously as producer, engineer, musician and more on projects involving Keith and Julie Tippett, Jeb Loy Nichols, Lizzy Parks, Larry Stabbins, Alice Russell, Sara Mitra, Fringe Magnetic, Golden Age of Steam and his own Nostalgia 77 Octet. Nostalgia 77’s fervent fanbase has been clamouring for his return and can now rest assured that it has been worth the wait, as the spoils of those extra-curricular excursions inform a new stylistic palette and a fresh intensity on the new LP. Although Nostalgia 77 is widely known for his work as a jazz producer (with plaudits including the John Peel ‘Play More Jazz’ award, and Gilles Peterson’s Jazz Track of the Year) ‘The Sleepwalking Society’ is rich with overtones of blues and folk and runs the whole range of influences from the different styles of music that he loves. “It feels great to go back and provide another chapter in the Nostalgia 77 story … each time I return to it with more ideas and experiences from working with other musicians on other projects”, says Lamdin.
