"[Gabriel] Roth is a 34-year-old songwriter, bassist and sound engineer, as well as the somewhat-reluctant co-owner of Daptone Records, a small record label in Brooklyn. He is still a musical outsider: he says he strongly dislikes almost every pop song recorded since 1974, including one or two that bear his own imprint. What appeals to him -- what consumes him -- are dusty soul and funk records from the 1960s and early '70s. By studiously emulating these recordings, he has gained a reputation as a devoted, even obsessive, musical purist."

Here's hoping that fans of that debut can realize Phonte and Nicolay [The Foreign Exchange] are simply leaving Connected behind and letting it stand on its own. And, as a result, this talented duo has made one hell of an album, actually one of the best of 2008, in the process."
