Acid Jazz

Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

Corduroy is a London based 4-piece acid jazz band formed around twins Ben and Scott Addison, previously of Boys Wonder. Richard Searle from Doctor & The Medics and guitarist Simon Nelson-Smith complete the lineup. Corduroy released three albums on Acid Jazz Records in the 90s, with their 1993 album High Havok producing several charting singles in the U.K. Top Ten Independent Charts. They later signed with Big Cat Records before re-signing with Acid Jazz Records in 2018 for their Return Of The Fabric Four LP.

Experience the unique sound of Corduroy's eclectic acid jazz music as they blend various influences into a captivating musical experience. With their catchy tunes and energetic performances,Corduroy has become one of the most respected bands in the genre.

Return Of The Fabric Four is the first new recording in 18 years by original Acid Jazz heroes Corduroy. They are straight back in the groove trading on the influences that made them such a totem in the high days of Acid Jazz and the early days of brit-pop. A heady mix of swinging sixties soundtracks, pop art imagery and a touch of the Who. Formed in 1991 out of the ashes of cult heroes Boys Wonder, they made three increasingly brilliant albums on Acid Jazz and wowed audiences the world over for the rest of the decade. The new album captures all of that musical drama and enjoyment over 12 new songs recorded in South London towards the end of 2017. Sounding like they's never been away Magic Mountain - which comes with a mad animated video - and the title track could also come from some lost cult movie. Saturday Club will have you stomping around your room, looking for a pinball machine!
