Description
Lathered in funk, rinsed in soul – the first repress of ‘Body Wash’, Mndsgn’s beloved second album for Stones Throw, since its original release in 2016.
Fans will welcome this first vinyl repress since original release, available on Lavender Eco-Mix vinyl.
After the beat-led excursions of his debut album Yawn Zen, Mndsgn (Ringgo Ancheta) put together a set of fully realised songs influenced by the likes of early SOLAR records material, Leon Sylvers III, Kashif and Dave Grusin – artists that Mndsgn says “really embodied that potent feeling in the early 80s boogie / funk / soul / jazz / fusion wave.”
At the time of its release, Mndsgn described ‘Body Wash’ as “a soul record that plays with nostalgic elements in a very dynamic & positive way. Think about it as a box of crayons for you to draw emotions with.”
In their review of ‘Body Wash’, published in 2016, Pitchfork wrote: “If the elusive destination that Ancheta’s music has been trying to reach turns out to be a 1981 roller-rink party, it’s been a journey well-spent, and only makes the next destination more eagerly anticipated.”
Mndsgn’s other albums include ‘Yawn Zen’, ‘Rare Pleasure’ and the ‘Snax’ beat tape series.
Mndsgn has collaborated with Danny Brown, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Liv.e, Anna Wise, Fousheé, Carlos Nino, Devin Morrison and many other artists.
