It’s been one hell of a year for Brisbane’s StormChasers. The jazzy seven-piece have been busy touring, recording, releasing, and crowdfunding, all the while honing their signature brassy sound into something truly stellar. They’re capping off 2013 with the release of a brand new single “Figurout,” an irresistible number with a delicious, easy groove.
I love the way the song effortlessly melds jazz, hip-hop, soul, and funk. The track’s the first lifted from their forthcoming EP Hey Girl, which will be released digitally and on vinyl and CD next February.
To celebrate the release, StormChasers have scored a slot at the prestigious Woodford Folk Festival. They’ll also headline their own shows in the East Coast capitals.
“Figurout” will be available digitally on iTunes from November 13, which is not so coincidentally the start of the tour.
