Mander House, Vol. 2 – letherette

If you like your house creative and sample heavy then you are in luck today. It’s letherette, back on Wulf with what they describe as a ‘house beat tape’, and it is packed with lively, fun listening.

They pack 15 tracks onto the album. As a result it constantly feels fresh, with new sounds hitting you every few minutes. Maybe also as a consequence, it can also feel a little superficial – each idea not fully fleshed out and explored to its maximum. The duo are clearly incredibly talented, and their sound feels original, so I’m sure they’ll have plenty more to come.

I’m growing a moustache to raise money for the Movember Foundation. So this month I will be honouring some of the best moustaches in music. You can donate to my mo here: https://mobro.co/harry-mo

I’ll be honest – I got real lucky with this one. The new Letherette album came out (it’s great) and after a quick Google it turns out that one half of the UK duo has a ‘tash! Joy!

Right, so what have we got? Funky loops, soulful samples, dreamy piano chords and solid basslines. It’s cool, it’s clever, and it’s fun. Two highlights are You Like to Dance? and my fave, Major.
