Blue Will Do
“Blue Will Do” takes us on a mellow, driving, dreamy jazz-flute-odyssey. Recalling the many underground greats of the early 1970s library music scene ala KPM, the funky flute of Bobbi Humphrey, and the mellow soul-jazz of Ramsey Lewis, we follow the hypnotic and psychedelic grooves as Wolcott Curran Collective guide us on a cinematic journey.

Any Number of Things
Wolcott Curran Collective is back, fusing a funky, jazzy, psychedelic rock-infused backbeat with the bombastic sounds of a full chamber orchestra and choir in what could be a great long-lost 60s spy thriller theme. Recorded on analog equipment with nearly 20 musicians at their Soundview Analog Recorders north of Seattle.
That’s One Way to Do It
On their latest instrumental, things take a raw guitar and piano-heavy direction, evoking the soul-rock excursions of late 60's Norman Whitfield, the swagger of Leon Russel, and the New Orleans swamp-funk of Allen Toussaint.
Wolcott Curran collective manage to keep crafting their own unique voice while the influence of authentic 1960s soul remains firmly.
Good Luck With That
With "Good Luck With That," Wolcott Curran Collective is back, firmly planting their flag as not only one of the best of today's soul revival groups, but something more.
Devil in the Details
In the tradition of groups like The Meters and Booker T. & the M.G.’s, this new group from Fleet Foxes former bassist Craig Curran and guitarist Sean Wolcott brings a new spin on the format, sounding simultaneously fresh and like a newly discovered deep cut from 1969. In a word of digital fakery, they opted to record the way that so many great records were made before them, assembling some of the most talented local musicians and recording live to tape through 1940s-1960s equipment at Wolcott’s studio, Soundview Analog Recorders. The result is a raw, immediate, and timeless sound.
