TRACKLIST
Hercules (feat. Alex Désert & The Lions)
Tell It Like It Is (feat. Asdru Sierra)

DESCRIPTION
To round out their second wave of 7" singles, Night Owls bring the heat once again with their signature sound and vision. Re-imagining two Aaron Neville classics, “Hercules” feat. Alex Désert and The Lions b/w “Tell It Like It Is” feat. Asdru Sierra from Ozomatli, Night Owls up the ante by bringing in some heavy hitters for both sides of this 45. Side A's "Hercules" features long-time collaborators and bandmates from The Lions (Stones Throw, Ubiquity, NYCT) - the soulful tenor of Alex Désert (also Hepcat) on lead blending seamlessly with the familiar voices of Deston Berry (Hepcat) and Malik Moore (Ocean 11) on backing harmonies. The Lions front line locks in tight from the many years performing together on top of a darker and grittier interpretation of Allen Toussaint’s masterpiece complete with fuzzed-out guitar, Space Echoes and rhythm drops. On the flip, "Tell It Like It Is" keeps the momentum going and hips swaying with added Colombian percussion elements and California lowrider vibes. Featuring L.A. family and multi-talented vocalist of Ozomatli, Asdru Sierra, on lead and Night Owl Dan Ubick on backing vocals Side B creates a unique blend of reggae and Cumbia into a very fresh take on this multi-generational hit.

Listen Up My Son
Listen Up My Son (Version)

DESCRIPTION
Following the success of their first single on F-Spot Records, "Heavy Manners," Marcus I meets aDUBta are starting the new year fresh with their second single, "Listen Up My Son." Recorded and produced by aDUBta at his Attic Roots Studio in Bavaria, Germany, and cut from the same writing sessions with singer Marcus I, "Listen Up My Son" further continues the authentic early roots reggae sound this collaboration is bursting on the scene with. With a rich analog sound, polished and mixed by aDUBta on his Tascam 388, to the soulful vocal tone of Marcus I, this new 7" brings the groove down in tempo, transporting you straight to Jamaica during the 1960s & 70s. With the lyrics, written by Marcus I and dedicated to his son, "Listen Up My Son" is a very personal song that touches the heart. Featuring a proper dub "Version" on side B, this live dub take from aDUBta showcases the distinct harmonies sung by Marcus I and the riddim section of The Black Oaks Roots Allstars comprising of Andi 'aDUBta' Bauer on Drums, Jannis Klenke on Bass, and Mauricio-Joran Ceseña on Guitar, this "Version" is complete with spring reverb and space echo trails for a fresh new experience of this instant classic.
