Mo' Horizons - Sunshine Today

Mo’ Horizons have been there or thereabouts in musical circles for the last eight years. Now it’s time for them to break through with their fourth LP, on their own imprint Agogo.

Sunshine Today is a beautiful 13-track masterpiece, including a Latin cover version of the Bill Withers’ classic Lovely Day.

The whole album oozes summer vibes - think of lazing by the pool, dipping your toe into the refreshing water, and you’re getting somewhere close with this album.

But while the concept of the LP may be summer lazing and early evening shenanigans, the production is anything but laid back.

There’s intricate drum patterns, percussive straight up Latin dance, and groovy cocktails — all blended together in a rich tapestry of rhythms.

Mo’ Horizons obviously know their Latin music, and it’s refreshing to see a group get it so spot on.

This summer might be over, but this album will remain a summer favourite with me for some years to come.
