Funk/Rare Groove

Debuting on record last year with the Laying Low 45 on Timeless Takeover, San Diego funk troupe Sure Fire Soul Ensemble sounded very much like a band benefitting from the tightness that comes with regular gigs. With that 7" remaining in many funk selectors record boxes, the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble return with a second dinked offering on Midwest powerhouse Colemine Records which is likely to prove just as popular. There's a languid charm to "City Heights" that seeps through all aspects of the arrangement, be it the head nodding drums, the horn section or the guitar groove but don't think the Ensemble are any less tight than before!
