A follow up doublesider 45 to Chris Lujan and Andre Cruz's "The Real Thing"
The big sha'bang drops with a follow up "The Real Thing" Album LP on Valentine's Day 2022!
DO NOT SLEEP! This will sell out!
"Somewhere Else" is a Sweet Soul Low-rider dipped in potent Bay Area Funk that may cause traffic jams in the wee wee hours of the moanin'!
The A-Side "My Back Hurts (From Picking Up The Pieces Of My Broken Heart)" is deep, emotional, uptempo, and raw Soul with a heart so heavy, it'll have you on your knees! If your life doesn't end after listening to this doublesider, kill yourself because you just haven't been living!
Includes unlimited streaming of Somewhere Else / My Back Hurts (From Picking Up The Pieces Of My Broken Heart)
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

After listening to the full album (due September 2022), Jose "Homeboy Mad" Valle (Raza Del Soul) urged us to release another 7". These two songs specifically.
This one is not to be missed. Where "The Real Thing" brought you sweet Souldies vibes, this one brings the heavy Deep Soul vibes. Where "The Real Thing" may have moved you to tears, these ones will have you moving your ass.
The street date is undetermined (likely May/June 2022). But, the order has already been placed back in August. And, we plan to keep you informed along the way with updates as they come in.
