Two pretty nice soul-jazz-funk albums here with just the right vintage and that wah-laced Sesame Street/Schoolhouse Rock/Stark Reality sound to get yr blood and other juices sloshing about rapider. It's mostly instrumental, but Coulter has a real great, soulful voice and some better-than-genre-par lyrics that make the vocal tracks really count. First album is basically straightforward, though it has great personality, while the second adds strange synths and what sounds like an electric harmonica, of all things, and has what might be deemed mild Mothers vibes, if only because some of the keyboard tones are Guitaronesque. And rejoice glum white male avant-turds!, there's a song about suicide, so you can take this funk seriously, ya morose morgoths.
