Tosca – Outta Here

Viennese duo Tosca take a sharp turn on Outta Here, abandoning their signature downtempo sound for a vibrant exploration of soul, jazz, and blues. It’s an energetic departure from their more chill releases, closer to the grooves of Brand New Heavies. The title speaks volumes – a declaration of change, a shift in both sonic landscape and emotional intensity. Lush textures give way to punchy beats, smooth jams transform into soulful journeys. Imagine smoky vocals like Rob Gallagher’s painting over sun-drenched brass riffs, while Cath Coffey’s soulful voice intertwines with laid-back guitar licks. Tracks like “Crazy Love” pulsate with life, while “My Sweet Monday” oozes summery vibes.  There’s a depth evident on the record – a melancholic undercurrent to the album adds weight to the soulful swagger. This is music for both lazy afternoons and late-night drives.
