THE SHA LA DAS Vinilo y CD

Review: The new soul project by ex-members of Silver Skylarks, Dorrington Drive, hears lush productions and distinct melodies channelled into the self-revelatory spirit of early 70s AM pop and soul. This cut could've easily been heard on one such radio station, a staple of the time. With the track named after the Riegelmann Boardwalk in Brooklyn, we find ourselves embarking on a thoroughly enjoyable Atlantic coastline jaunt here, through bombastic funk bass and slapping toms.

Review: The Sha La Das is a family affair comprised of William Schalda Sr. (of The Monterey's fame) with sons Paul, Carmine and Will. Following up two singles released on New York City's Dunham (subsidiary of Daptone) over the last few years, the Brooklyn based outfit present Love In The Wind. On this, their debut, the talent is harnessed in 11 songs: each tender-voiced delight delivered with absolute conviction, and combined with musicians that have help define the Daptone/Dunham Records sound including label boss Thomas Brenneck, Homer Steinweiss, Dave Guy, Leon Michels, Nick Movshon and Victor Axelrod. The quartet channel the best of soul, doo wop and R&B on this wonderful collection of songs. Features the singles "Sha La Da La La" (Christmas Time) and "Those Years Are Over".
