What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone has had a nice couple of weeks since my last write-up. I got back from my trip to France last week and had a great time over there. I really enjoyed my time in Paris. It felt like there was just an endless number of things to do and places to see. It’s hard to beat just wandering around and settling down at a nice café and just ordering some drinks and roasting some heaters and just doing some nice people watching. The south of France was also super cool, especially after being in such a giant city. It was awesome to just take the train down and spend some time on the coast. I didn’t realize how salty the Mediterranean Sea was; it was fun to just float on the surface so easily. We went on a nice hike along this path on the rocks that led to this beautiful kinda hidden bay with a little beach, so we stopped and hung out there for a while and did some swimming. All in all, it was a great trip, and I definitely wanna go back someday and spend some more time there. Anyways, enough about my vacation. Today I’m writing about some other Americans that spent some time in Paris, the funk band Ice AKA Lafayette Afro Rock Band. The band started out up in Long Island, but quickly relocated to France after they formed. Maybe they were just on a mission to bring the funk to France. The other day I came into the store and Dom was blasting one of their records and it immediately caught my ear. This album, Afro Agban, is full of funky-ass tunes that are certified to make you groove. The whole album is amazing, but I really dig the track Alow Aton. It just has such a cool intro, and the organ is going crazy on this one. If you only have 35 minutes today to listen to music, listen to this album! You will be better off for it.
