1LP - orange vinyl

The debut LP from frontman of Thee Sinseers. If you were to ask Joey Quiñones where he found inspiration for his music, you wouldn't have to look far from where the East LA son grew up. Listen to his work, and you're transported to a two-block radius of his neighborhood. In those two blocks, you hear cumbia blaring from the stores, punk rehearsals from a garage, oldies drifting from a neighbour's yard - a sensory overload that follows you home, all those genres singing in your head at once.

This isn't a revelation to longtime fans of Quiñones' music. He has established himself as a premier interpreter of his generation, dedicating his career to offering his unique perspective on the Chicano soul songbook. But before Thee Sinseers, before the lush orchestrations and pitch-perfect harmonies that became his signature, Quiñones cut his teeth leading various backing bands for visiting Jamaican ska and dancehall acts touring Southern California. Those years of apprenticeship in rock steady and roots reggae would inform everything that followed - and on his new solo record "Inna Soul Steady Situation", Quiñones finally showcases those influences front and center.
