Say She She long mined the sounds of the '70s and '80s, citing Minnie Riperton, Rotary Connection, Liquid Liquid, and ESG as influences. Cut & Rewind expands their scope, incorporating elements of Lonnie Liston Smith and the Lijadu Sisters into their sonic palette while channeling the spirit of contemporaries like Lambrini Girls and Amyl and the Sniffers. It all combines into a psychedelic soundscape of pulsing disco beats, astral whistle tones, and earwormy melodies. Over a couple of short, intense sessions, Brown, Cunningham, and Malik gathered with their rhythm section, Dan Hastie, Sam Halterman, Dale Jennings, and Sergio Rios-all members of cult funk band Orgone-at Rios's North Hollywood studio, Killion Sound. Say She She's writing practice is an exercise in presence, as each of the three channels their front-of-mind thoughts and feelings into cathartic transmissions. There's an element of spontaneity at play, informed by the players' affinity for The Meters-style jamming and the studio discipline of Booker T and The M.G.'s, as well as Malik's time in a post-punk improv band with Liquid Liquid's Sal Principato. Each of the 12 tracks on Cut & Rewind crackles with palpable energy, practically daring you to keep your head and hips still.
