Oh Yes I Will

Breakin Bread continue their support of the live soul and funk sound with a sweet dancefloor vocal track backed with a bass heavy rhythm funk workout.

Glenn Fallows (aka Ed Meme) has been the main songwriter, bandleader, manager, guitarist and Hammond organist for funk, soul and breaks collective The Impellers for the last 5 years, releasing albums on Freestyle Records, Mocambo Records and Legere Recordings. In 2012, an over-productive mind and too much time on his hands left him with far too many songs to release with the band so to remedy this, a solo project was born ? Ed Meme

SIDE A – OH YES I WILL

Proper dancefloor business here underpinned by a sweet vocal by Myles Sanko. This track is a two-beat beast beginning with a swingy, Motown-influenced groove up against scratchy guitars and sweet vocal harmonies. The track builds and builds via a heavy drums break and ends in fiece style with a heavy, driving, deep funk workout on the outro.

SIDE B – You Do Say Parts 1 and 2

The flipside take you deeper.This is an afro and latin-influenced instrumental track that kicks off like a classic funk 45 b-sider. It ends up almost on a dub tip and along the way gives us sunshine melodies, sparse-but-booming basslines and a latin-jazz fusion outro featuring trademark layered alto sax craziness from Chris Evans-Roberts (The Impellers).
