Since making their debut in 2014, Russian combo The Great Revivers has become one of Funk Night Records’ most reliable acts. They’re at it again here, serving up two more slabs of goodness inspired by their obsessions with Hammond-heavy grooves, scorching funk and dusty 1970s library music. A-side “Bar-Hop” sounds like their take on the Meters sound, with attractive Hammond riffs rising above flanged funk guitars, heavy bass, fuzz-soaked brass and a bustling, solo-heavy groove. B-side “The Last” explores similar sonic territory but feels a little more relaxed. This time round, it’s the jazzy, flanged guitar solos that take centre stage, with their trademark organs merely acting as an impressive accompaniment.
