In the four years since the release of Something About April, Adrian Younge has been coined America's black genius: the evocation of analog vestige in a digital era. His majestic music has garnered him reverence, likened to Ennio Morricone's best work and the Beatles' tenacity to create new sounds. Making an indelible impression on modern vinyl heads and producers alike (having been sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent) the Something About April brand is an axiom to the modern "Breakbeat", and Linear Labs is happy to announce its successor. "Something About April II" will replace the former as a holy grail for producers and collectors alike.

Younge is the experimental spirit of the modernist vanguard, looking into the past to create the future. What this album extrapolates from vinyl culture, will become further magnified by its sampling down the line. Recorded with a collection of rare instruments, Something About April II advances Younge's musical paradigm with enterprising concepts, and grander compositions, synthesizing the boundaries between dark American soul, and classic European cinema. This latest release features an array of entrancing vocalists: Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab) and Bilal, perform duets on "Step Beyond" and "La Ballade", reminiscent of duets from Serge Gainsborg & Jane Birkin; Raphael Saadiq blends "Black Jazz" vocals with psychedelic soul on "Magic Music", while Israeli star, Karolina, delivers haunting chants over concertos like "Hear my love" and "Winter is Here". Long time Adrian Younge collaborator Loren Oden croons as if the apparent ghost of Donnie Hathaway created one last love song with "Sandrine" and "Sittin' by the Radio".
