Today’s funky, fresh and soulful bundle of instrumental joy is a rare track from Daptone’s new super band, The Olympians. Stand Tall was originally released for a limited 45 pressing by Truth & Soul Records, but has recently became available for the first time worldwide digitally.
Led by Toby Pazner (Lee Fields & The Expressions, El Michels Affair), this NYC-based band are a product of a fever dream Pazner experienced in Greece and their story (as described on his Bandcamp page) goes like this: “After repeatedly being visited by a strange messenger in his dreams while on tour in the islands of Greece, Toby Pazner became consumed with a vision to tell the stories of The Olympians through music”
Stand Tall is a chilled out mix of funky guitars, melodic horns and super-smooth beats.. Check it out above and order your copy of the track from here.
