Sonic Gypsy are currently in the process of finishing a giant independently funded 20 track double studio album of brand new original material at Viva Recorders in London, working with an amazing group of musicians including: Ed Grimshaw (The Caesarians, Warm Jets), Dwight Wharton (Buffalo Fish), Shireen Liane (The Slingbacks), RexOmatic (Angerland) Vincent Smith (Trichrome) and Nick Steed (Colusseum).
The new album is a panoramic rock n roll masterpiece, covering all of Sonic Gypsy's influences gathered over a lifetime of writing recording and living music, and is like no other album you will ever hear, completely out of time and space, it is both a personal expression of living through the trials and euphoria of human existence in the 20th and 21st centuries and a colourful sonic kaleidescope of everything that the artform we call rock n roll can be.
Recorded over four years, with some of London's best underground musicians, using vintage Fender, Gibson, Mosrite guitars, Orange, Vox, Fender, Dynacord, Danelectro and Ampeg amps, vintage valve mics and featuring 20 songs about every part of this crazy reality we appear to live in and the times we live through: life, love, lust, revolution, friendship, freedom, heartbreak, protest.. you have to live it to write it.. so we did..
