Michael Leonhart – Scopolamine

Truth & Soul is proud to present the first single from Michael Leonhart & The Asvamina 7. Michael Leonhart, Grammy Award Winning trumpt player for Yoko Ono, Steely Dan, and Lenny Kravitz has masterfully created something that sounds like the musical love child of R.D Burman, Fela Kuti, & Beck. A mix of reverb drenched vocals, afro beat horns, and fluttering tablas all work in perfect harmony on The Asvamina 7’s first single on Truth & Soul. The hard-hitting A side, named after the medicinal alkaloid, Scopolomine, is a vocal track in which Leonhart manages to sing about the “all-purpose” drug in an unusually catchy way. Side B, Gold Fever, is an uptempo vocal cut that is equal parts Afro Beat and Pysh Rock, with the horns of a 70’s Kung Fu flick
