With fat, buzzing bass lines, no-holds-barred guitar licks, playful yet virile rhythms, searing fiddle riffs, pounding, viscerally percussive groundswells and vocals that feel as old as the ages yet fresh as the dawn, Soul Science is less of a cross-cultural collaboration than an arresting, endlessly fascinating dispatch from a new nation entirely. The tracks evoke a garage band from a place where automobiles are completely irrelevant because whenever the inhabitants decide to travel, they are already there. Transitioning and overlapping amongst blues from several continents, American rock 'n' roll of sock-hop vintage, shadowy respites amid the heat mirages of a Sahel afternoon and desert evenings when the moon seems well within reach, Justin Adams (electric and acoustic guitars, Tamashek lute, percussion, banjo, vocals) and Juldeh Camara (lead vocals, one-string fiddle, West African banjo, percussion) along with their inspired back-up team of Salah Dawson Miller (percussion) and Billy Fuller (bass), have achieved a white-hot synthesis instigated by centuries of history refracted through the kaleidoscope that is the information age. Already an international sensation, Soul Science was nominated for "best album" in the "Culture Crossing" category at the annual BBC World Music Awards, and was selected among the "top 100 albums of the year" by both fRoots and Songlines magazines.

"Unquestionably the cross-cultural album of the year."
