Watch this! San Pedro Collective return with Darker Days single and video!

San Pedro are back with another single that twists and turns with their many influences into another piece of eclectic magic. Wayne AF checks out their latest grooves…

LTW have followed San Pedro Collective from the beginnings of Rikki Turner (Paris Angels) creating a sweet little monster that gets stronger with each tune. What I like about the whole concept is that it’s a true collective of members that drift in and out and still pull together a strong rhythm section whoever is in the line up. Held together by the glue of Keith Higgins (bass) and Simon Wolstencroft (aka Funky Si) they have pulled it off yet again with a dark track that kicks in all moody yet lifts up with the sultry vocals of Nathalie Hayley, another newcomer to take the mantle of the ever changing lead of strong front persons. It’s sounds orchestral with a moody bass and some clever use of echoing trumpet from Rick Burrows, crashing guitar moments from Jeff Black, (who also does a stomping house remix for the B-side) and shimmering duo keyboard work from John Montague and Mike Powell. Also take note of the cool as fuck artwork by Keith Higgins, taken close by to Piccadilly Station for all you Manc landmark trainspotters out there! A powerful way forward for our ever growing dance floors that keeps the flame alive for the dance contingency, yet is the perfect crossover for the indie massive.

Darker Days, backed by Jeff Black’s ‘Black Friday Mix’, will be released on Funky Si Records and is available on all streaming platforms now, accompanied by a video from Fried Banana (see above).
