Vibration Black Finger - Everybody Cryin' Mercy - cracking new album from Lascelle Lascelles' soul-jazz outfit
The Vibration Black Finger is the creation of Lascelle Lascelles (also known as Lascelle Gordon), a key figure in London’s dynamic music scene. Renowned for his stint as a house DJ at the Wag Club in the 1980s and as a tour DJ for A Certain Ratio, Lascelle also co-founded the Acid Jazz pioneers, The Brand New Heavies. Over the years, he has worked with notable artists like Mr. Scruff and Beth Orton. This album marks an impressive return, brimming with spiritual undertones, 70s jazz influences, and post-punk sensibilities.
