Please join us in welcoming the newest members of the ever-growing Penrose/Daptone family, Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers + Junior Scaife , via this epic 45 drop.

🌹45s🌹

Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers:
https://daptone.ffm.to/johnnyruiz.OFP

Hailing from Las Vegas, Johnny Ruiz and the Escapers offer up two sides of haunting group sounds sure the scratch the itch of doo-wop and soul enthusiasts alike. Adorning the a-side is "Sorry", a stark, creeping, dirge-like ballad with a sparse rhythm track that swings eerily underneath Johnny's sublime lead and the Escapers plaintive harmonies, creating an hypnotic vibe that will have you dropping the needle over and over again.

Junior Scaife:
https://daptone.ffm.to/juniorscaife.OFP

Next up, Junior Scaife shows us he's a vocal heavyweight whose prowess on the mic is tantamount to the pen. Backed by house band The Penrose Scholars and co-written by producer, Anthony Mason, "When My Heart Beats” is a bouncy stepper with feel-good vibes and groove in equal measure, serving up a Brenton Wood-esque blast of sunshine and soul.

OUT NOW • A soulful duet at its core, "Float" finds The Altons exploring new realms of pop excellence. The sophisticated arrangement and instrumentation gives the tune a cinematic feel that builds to a crescendo of psychedelic, swirling of strings - immersing the listener in a wash of Morricone-tinged euphoria.
