TROY KINGI - SHAKE THAT SKINNY ASS ALL THE WAY TO ZYGERTRON

‘A big inspiration during the writing process was Shuggie Otis's Inspiration Information album from 1974. Just the overall aesthetic of the album – warm, real pleasing to the ear but weird at the same time. This album, Shake That Skinny Ass All the Way to Zygertron, is a fictional account of two people from different times & dimensions meeting in the cosmos – falling in love and having a child with golden feet – fulfilling an ancient prophesy written in the hieroglyphics of the coming of the messiah…’
— Troy Kingi

‘Like his guitar playing, Kingi’s singing is as fine and supple as ever…
…there’s some lovely delicate fretwork, beautiful chord voicings and some good melodies, while the whole thing is underpinned by a solid foundation of funk. At times Kingi sails into similar territory to Unknown Mortal Orchestra; a kind of soulful psychedelia.’
— Nick Bollinger, The Sampler

‘Whether you follow the theme or not you have to acknowledge the gorgeous soul sound – and often a sense of ineffable sadness – across these 11 songs and fiftysomething minutes.’
— Graham Reid, Elsewhere
