Family Feet April 2023 - Strong effort. Favorite track: No Good for Me.

Maxbennet The singerman sparks joy. If the rest of the album can hold up to the quality of the first track, l will be more than pleased.

Gareth Fitzpatrick I bought it on the strength and sheer quality of the first track. If this is indicative of the quality this will become an undisputed modern reggae/rocksteady classic

andybradders2206 All tunes top quality, need a dub companion to the whole album. Favorite track: Riding for a Fall.

Jah Bhakti all my days!! what an absolute banger of an LP
the vocals, musicians the production are all as crisp as a cracker 👌 hard to pick a favourite to be honest, but on first listening life & debt resonates with me along with last night's tune,
like this' I'll be listening to this LP for a long time. congrats 👏 blessings 🙌 light ✨️ 🙏

about

Waggle Dance Records presents; Joe Yorke & The Co-Operators 'A Distant Beat'.

Bristol based singer Joe Yorke has once again been busy in the studio with his old time friend and long time collaborator, producer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist Eeyun Purkins. Alongside Eeyun's studio band The Co-Operators they have recorded a brand new long player 'A Distant Beat'. It features eight kitchen sink stories from the breadline, message music for these desperate times. Musically enclosed in their trade mark sound it combines soulful rocksteady & forward stepping reggae with that distinctly authentic flavor that Eeyun's productions have become known for.

With three LPs already under their belts The Co-Operators haven't taken their foot off the gas since bursting on to the scene with their 2019 debut 'Rhythms from the Kitchen Sink'. The album's lead single 'Tonight', a track that saw Joe York's falsetto unleashed on the world, is still seeing heavy rotation on sound systems around the world.

Hot on the tail of a number of collaborations including two singles with Stand High Patrol and Joe's self produced LP 'Noise and Emptiness', Joe and Eeyun don't seem to be slowing down and they are excited for you to hear this latest body of work.
