Mifune / Winslow / tba July 11, 2009

Taking the artistic passion of eight individuals and making something that’s cohesive and without pretension can be a tall order. Mifune knows this. The diversity of elements that make up this group is akin to spinning around and around in a record store stopping and pointing at random sections. The amalgamation of styles is nothing new in American music, and Mifune hails from the true America, the gritty, post-industrial gem of a town, Cleveland, Ohio. This reality is fuel for the funky poly-rhythms, tight harmonies, soulful vocals and the blazing horns that create the irresistible pulse that marks the group’s compositions. Live, the group inspires an atmosphere as diverse as their components. Sure, the deep rooted grooves will make you dance, but it’s also all at once a joyful, thought-provoking, and passionate affair. With two albums out: "afro-electronique" 2006 and 2008's "time is watching us", Mifune continues the quest to bottle their unique sound on wax.
