This hot collaboration between Stevie Kotey, Bear Funk Gold head bear and Max Essa (the highly acclaimed Midnight Garden EP on Bear Entertainment) sees Bear Funk Gold go into euphoric summery piano mode. The band name, Salon De L’Herbe is a new project for these two daddies of house (and ankle-biters!) inspired in name by the heady herbal smoke atmosphere of the Bear studios where the magical music is created. There’s something of a wistful, better days colour to the piano on ‘Let’s Hold Hands’ and played at the right time could enduce a few moments in those partial to sunsets and sunrises. ‘Mirage’ takes us into a more driving Balearic field with Essa’s guitar layers floating over each other in symphonic harmony. Expect more delights on Bear Funk Gold from Salon De L’Herbe.
