Label GB

New West Records

New West Records is a rock-oriented independent label that was founded in 1997. With a focus on alternative, indie, country, and folk music, this US-based label has established itself as a powerhouse in the industry. Headquartered in Los Angeles and Austin TX, New West Records also exclusively represents the renowned PBS Television program Austin City Limits. Known for their commitment to showcasing both archival and current performances, this label releases an impressive range of music on DVD and CD formats.

Pop on Floor It!!!, the new and second full-length effort from the Texas Gentlemen, and prepare your eardrums to be hit with everything from woozy, brass-fueled Dixieland-style jazz (Veal Cutlass), to slinky, chicken-scratch country funk (Bare Maximum) to lushly orchestrated pop-soul balladry (Ain’t Nothin’ New) - and that’s all in just the first 10 minutes of play time.

While the Gentlemen’s sound is clearly steeped in the classic roots, rock and pop music of the ‘60s and ‘70s, there’s a dreamy (the lilting Sing Me to Sleep), spacey (Skyway Streetcar) and occasionally progressive (Dark at the End of the Tunnel) element to what they do that seems to detach the music from belonging to any particular place and time. Add in elements of funk, soul, country, r&amp;b, southern rock, gospel and essentially any other style that catches their musically omnivorous ears; an expansive and detailed approach to arrangement that sees the songs adorned with all manner of horns, strings and heavenly background vocals (Hard Road) and you have a collection of tunes that is more than just a mere album. Rather, Floor It!!! is a rich and righteous ride.

The 13-song set was produced by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, John Moreland, Midlake) and recorded at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, Niles City Sound in Ft. Worth, TX and Pence’s own EchoLab Studios in Denton.
