Bleep

Thirteen years on from his debut solo LP and Steve Spacek finally follows it up. Work on Natural Sci-Fi actually began around the time that 2005’s Space Shift was released, but as momentum picked up on Spacek’s various other projects (Africa Hitech and Black Pocket to name but two) the record was shelved for some time. We’re so glad he’s managed to rally and complete the album - this collection of underground soul jams is more than worth the wait. Backed by neo-soul beats that show off strong influences of J Dilla and Bilal, Spacek slips between tenor and falsetto with the command one associates with a soul singer extraordinaire like Omar.
