The Dip

Love Direction

£27.99

Released: 12th July 2024. The Dip is a six-piece rhythm and blues band from Seattle who blend the best parts of funk and soul street music with the bounce of rock 'n' roll dance halls to create timeless songs of love and life. 'Love Direction', The Dip's fourth studio record is the first time in the band's career they have relinquished complete control. The group produced the record themselves and enlisted audio engineer Josh Block who contributed a lush addition to the 11-song collection along with a full spread of talented guest musicians across the tracks. Distant horns, funkier guitars and even a touch of pedal steel guitar from Will Van Horn on the introspective 'Fill My Cup', The Dip sound as crisp as ever while exploring new sonic territories. The result makes for a fresh, loose mood that feels equally familiar to the band's earlier work and a confdent, bold re-introduction that features some more nuanced and intimate moments highlighting the ways in which the band has matured.
