LEON THOMAS - MUTT DELUXE : HEEL RUBY VINYL

Modern post-Motown maestro Leon Thomas builds on his recent and highly critically appraised album Mutt with Mutt Deluxe: Heel, reddening the raw pop soul aggro of the manifest record with a new and exclusive translucent ruby vinyl. Leon's genre-blending approach is wrung to the point of vasoconstriction, matching the precision and intensity suggested by its title and subjective core, centred on the uncanny similarities in behaviour between Thomas and his dog, post-breakup. With a roster of notables in the features list, Heel pushes modern r&b-soul over many dogged edges, from the likes of 'How Fast' to the Ty Dolla $ign featuring 'Far Fetched'. Each record's colour pressing is ever so slightly slightly uniquely hued, adding a collectible tooth-edge to this release
