It’s impossible to not remark on the passing of Etta James.

A voice synonymous with each of the styles and genres her career spanned, her influence will only strengthen posthumously.

‘In The Basement‘ is a record of rare warmth and such an encapsulating unity that makes it no surprise that James soundtracked many people’s lives. Theo‘s touches and splices make it even easier to lose yourself.
