In Focus: Loose Ends
London, 17.10.19
Focus on Loose Ends
Loose Ends, the London trio formed of guitarist and vocalist Carl McIntosh, vocalist Jane Eugene and keyboardist Steve Nichol, moulded their sound in the era of playful genre melding that directly followed disco's populist decline. Their uniquely eighties fusion of R&B, post-disco rhythm, & sensuous vocal performances were instrumental in defining what is now considered UK street soul. Instrumental too, was the glossy production aesthetic of Nick Martinelli, who worked closely with the group on five albums.
This In Focus is a trip through the silken post-disco & pop of Loose Ends.
