There Were Seven

A 15 track trip-hop album (56m 44s) — released October 8th 2012 on Department H

"As the machine's pistons pumped, spewing toxic smoke and molten ash across the soundscape, seven figures emerged from the shadows. They had the appearance of people from a time now forgotten. Seven troubadours with sonic dexterity. These agents of mischief told us that the reign of the machine must end and they were here to take it down piece by piece...;"

It's the return of THE HERBALISER. The seven lords of loopy, soundtrack inspired funk-infused hip-hop (or hip-hop-infused funk, depending on your perspective).

Releasing their much anticipated seventh album under their own label 'Department-H', the boys are back, hitting you hard with what they do best; 15 slabs of super heavy, psychedelic, beat-laden, post-hip-hop audio. Written and produced by Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba, THERE WERE SEVEN takes you on an epic journey; from the undulating wobbly dub of "Welcome to Extravagance", through to the electronic takeover of "Mother Dove", and the manic spitting flute funk of "Take 'Em On".

Featuring collaborations with up-and-coming UK wordsmith, George the Poet, on "A Sad State of Affairs", the soulful vocalist Hannah Clive on "The Lost Boy", and super MC's from across the Atlantic - Twin Peaks and Teenburger.

Take some time out from the tinny, un-inspiring, auto-tune infected world of the machine, and feast on some deliciously full-bodied beats, brought to you by the original grand masters of sonic sound.... THE HERBALISER.
