Rated 5/5
Review by scoundrel Apr 16, 2009
David Holmes opens up his funk side with _Lets Get Killed_, his second album, a sort of love letter to New York City. And from the jazz-funk-breaks of “My Mate Paul,” you know you’re in for a ride. “Lets Get Killed” is more rough, punctuated, as it is, with an expletive-laced conversation, but “Gritty Shaker” gets back to the grooviness that stretches far into the smooth bass and guitar work of “Rodney Yates.” Agent 007 gets revisited on “Radio 7” (including a hilarious debate of James Bond vs. Shaft), and “Slashers Revenge” delves into deep dub. Meanwhile “Caddell Returns” swoons and meanders until “Don’t Die Just Yet” slinks in with its seductive bass and bluesy guitar work. Righteous.
