BENNY TROKAN - Do You Still Think of Me - LP - Transparent Fire Orange Vinyl [AUG 23]

LP - Transparent Orange Fire Vinyl 

You may recognize this fine fellow as the bass player for such acts as Spoon, Lee Fields’ Expressions, Reigning Sound, and The Jay Vons. Or perhaps you’ve heard the man himself wailing away on several well-received 45’s released on Wick Records and compiled on the digital EP Hey Lovers. A former member and leader of The Reigning Sound, he has lent his talents to key Daptone family artists such as Jalen Ngonda, Lee Fields’ Expressions, and Charles Bradley’s Extraordinaires.

With Do You Still Think of Me?, his debut album for Wick Records, Trokan takes the listener through the full spectrum of 60s influenced music: the moody teen-beat bop of Save a Place, the garage dwelling angst of Nowhere to Be Found, and the sweet soul sound of the title track. Throughout the record, it’s the unique sound of Benny’s raspy, vulnerable lead vocal that carries us across this truly stunning collection of modern pop. Do You Still Think of Me? is a breath of fresh air from a well-seasoned veteran, unquestionably worth the wait.
