Setting the tone with elegant “ooohs”, in fusion with a series of claps, Mo Douglas opens his latest single, Ample Room For Grooving with layered and dimensional guitars delivering a retro rock-pop meets cinematic-folk frequency.
Needless to say, we are obsessed with the immersive tapestry of sound as Mo Douglas delivers intricacy and depth, before the vocal textures from Mariya May reappear to further elevate the emotive nuance of the composition.
The journey of Ample Room For Grooving sees us indeed moving in our bodies and spirit. Mid-way through the song, we experience a drum pattern shift and the protagonist guitar pulls out to take us through to a rippling and transcendental guitar solo.
Giving us elements of 70s nostalgia, the overall energy is playful and enigmatic, and we particularly love the flute detailing.
Mo Douglas‘ extensive back catalog traverses through eclectic stylistic realms, crafting unique instrumental grooves with pieces of funk, soul, rock, jazz, psychedelia and beyond.
We have added Ample Room For Grooving to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue immersing ourselves in Mo’s wider discography, including The Most Expensive Restaurant In Portland, which we recently reviewed!
