The long awaited follow up to 2010’s Full English Beat Breakfast, ‘Last Man On EarthBig Boss Man‘ is ‘s 4th album. The British four piece return with a new set of songs and recordings that take a fresh approach to the BBM sound – their hip hybrid of Latin, Jazz, Soul, Psych and ’60s/’70s drenched R&B is now expanded with the added dimension of a brass section and guest vocalists adding to the further sonic and rhythmic explorations from the band; taking us on a one heck of a brand new trip!
