Review: Last year, Night Slugs' longest-serving artist, Philip Gamble AKA Girl Unit, returned to action with a debut album nine years in the making. "Song Feel" was rightly proclaimed for its colourful collection of synth-heavy future R&B and space-pop gems, which made great use of top-notch guest vocalists and some distinctly off-kilter rhythm tracks. The genius of Gamble's backing tracks is the focus of this follow-up release, which - as the title makes clear - gathers together instrumental versions of the album's vocal moments. Amongst the highlights are two contrasting versions of "WYWD" (a languid, loved-up downtempo take and a gently upbeat, tropical and humid "Instrumental House Mix" that's worth the entrance fee on its own), the bass-heavy, grime-influenced filth of "Pull Up" and the grinning, piano-heavy rush that is "24 Hours".
