Survivors – The Vanrays (Social Distance Mix)

The Vanrays take a Motown sound and Stax sax take rhythm and blues and put a knife in its back.

It’s a Motown beat down in a shark skin suit. It’s wailing like its gospel while they’re laying in the boots. It’s a curb stomping rhythm on the corner of control. It’s a nod in the direction, when all the shoes had leather souls. And to when those shoes were twisting, to Otis and to James. And so now do, The VanRays too, we are here to do the same.
