Press Release :
The Nextmen "Squelchy North London space-funk for the year 8000"
The Bees "Brilliant! Straight from the organically-grown aisle at somerfield. We want more jumbonics!"
XLR8R Magazine "Mothballed drums, suiggly analogue bass and spacey organ riffs to make you feel like dressing up to get down!"
Straight No Chaser "Great stuff. Off-the-wall instrumentation to really lose yourself in"
Rainer Truby "Excellent release - tasty and different"
IDJ Magazine " A well-paced collection of beats 'n' pieces. Interesting as ever from Brighton's Tru Thoughts imprint" Mr Scruff "Minimal, cheeky wibblers"
...These were just a few of the reactions to Jumbonics' 2005 debut LP for Tru Thoughts.

Jumbonics (a.k.a. Rob Mac and Matt Smooth) are the duo behind such classic London club nights at Scratch. When they're not recording and performing as Jumbonics or DJing and promoting in the Big Smoke, they can be found moonlightning as one half of soul-funk four piece Gum Drop.

'Talk To The Animals' takes a step away from the largely instrumental feel of their first album in favour of traditional, vocal-led song-structures and more mature soul sound; perfect for fans of Peven Everett and Jill Scott.

Norman Anderson lends his voice to the proceedings, leaving little doubt as to why he's been in such demand with the likes of Yam Who? and lately. If you haven't already heard Mr Anderson do his thing then trust us, this man can sing.

Amid a bewitching blend of styles including disco, funk and hip hop, the album boasts an infectious cover of The Strokes' international hit record 'Last Nite'. Released as a 7" single in December 2006, the Jumbonics version transforms the original from NY garage rock into a b-by/funk anthem.
