The Parisian group Jéroboam is an eleven piece funk and soul band. Their self titled debut album is filled with slick eighties inspired boogie funk bangers. The band released a slew of singles on the Space Grapes label, home of another boogie band Another Taste. This is their debut for Favourite Recordings. The opener “Sweet Addiction” is infectious funk punctuated by wicked synths and guitar rhythms. “Sleepless Night” is a warm mid-tempo tune tailor made for slow dancing. “Surrender” is equally enjoyable due to the smooth bassline, vocal harmonies and a punchy horn section. Overall a sparkling debut filled with uplifting lyrics and funky grooves galore. All the things that made eighties funk n soul so special are delivered here in abundance. It’s so delicious, you shouldn’t miss it.
