Treat your taste buds to these mouthwatering leftovers!
Trying to keep up with the daily deluge of music is like trying to drink from a firehose. While we do our best to share all the good music that comes our way, some gems inevitably slip through the cracks. That’s where The Leftovers features come in; each Friday, we serve up five tasty morsels that we couldn’t let slip away into easily digestible snippets. This week, we’re showcasing new music from DoomCannon, Ruby Rushton, Frank Swart, and more. Lap up these delectable treats.
After a silence that stretched beyond three years, DoomCannon is back with the new track ‘The Truth’. The wait is over at last! This daring, groove-laden track masterfully fuses 70s blaxploitation funk with hip-hop flair, featuring commanding marching drums and an entrancing bassline courtesy of bassist Jamien Nagadhana. Top tune – listen now!
Ruby Rushton is gearing up for the release of their fifth album, Legacy! this October, and they’ve teased us with two tracks from it. Fourteen years after their debut, Two for Joy, the band continues to evolve, maintaining catchy riffs and grooves but now with added maturity and a sense of belonging. This is their Legacy!
If you haven’t yet tuned into The Cosmic Tones Research Trio’s meditative healing music, it’s high time you did—and what better excuse than their brand new track, ‘Sankofa’. This is the kind of song that effortlessly sweeps you away—press play, and you’ll understand exactly why!
With a breezy charm and effortless grace, Langendrof United’s latest track is pure relaxation distilled into sound. As the follow-up teaser for their upcoming album, ‘Undercover Beast’, the track ‘Cesária’ has bandleader Lina Langendorf channelling her idol, Cape Verdean songstress Cesária Évora. Listen below.
Bassist-producer Frank Swart returns with ‘Mischief In The Musitorium’, a fearless alt-jazz album featuring an all-star lineup including Lenny White, Vernon Reid, Nduduzo Makhathini, Jason Marsalis, and more. The record blends alt-jazz, progressive blues, and cosmic funk, channelling raw improvisation and boundary-pushing energy. Think Ornette Coleman meets King Crimson in a New Orleans warehouse – wild, unboxed, and unapologetically bold. Listen below, it’s a stunner!
