DOWNLOAD: ESG - Dance To The Beat Of Moody
Mid-'70s Bronx, New York City: The Scroggins sisters (Deborah, bass; Renee, lead vocals, guitar; Marie, congas; Valerie, drums), having played music together since their childhood, unleash their utterly distinct minimalist funk to the rest of the boroughs. Though they found shelter under the erudite trash of the Downtown Manhattan No Wave scene, ESG was always a Bronx band. They absorbed everything from their surroundings--not just funk and dub and salsa, but also beatdowns and jumprope and hopscotch--and channeled it into simple and effective groove. "Dance To The Beat Of Moody," welds two of ESG's best tracks, "The Beat" and "Moody," into a seven-minute boogaloo of building-block drum beats, spooky basslines, and Renee's sweetly eerie singing. The track is a part of Fire Records' Dance To The Best Of ESG, a broad overview of this great band's inspired noodling.
