Instrument L by Lew Hill II

Solo instrumental album of original soul / sci-fi inspired funky grooves.

Featured are two concept demos developed with / for The Poetic Diaspora ( Wood Chuck ) and Collective Flow ( Element S ).

This album also contains Nine original groove-oriented compositions that pay homage to the greats of Funk and Soul music production from the Extended Motown and Minneapolis sound.

Sci-Fi, AfroFuturism, Video Games, New Jack Swing, and Animated After School Specials also get a sonic shout out as well.

**Recently Featured by Bandcamp in their Best New Soul for April 2018**

'Lew Hill II isn’t afraid to follow his groove. His instrumentals often stretch out to nearly eight minutes—“Element S.,” “What Happened Was”—but his ability to build naturally from one track to another makes it an effortless, enjoyable listen. Quirky production with sci-fi funk grooves and chiptune influences add cool sonic layers that serve the album well. Laid-back and funky, bright and groovy, Instrument L is an invitation to chill.'
