Oakland’s garage-soul rockers, The Helltones, are revving up for their forthcoming album, Medusa, set to drop on November 17th, mastered by the talented Timothy Stollenwerk (known for Kevin Morby, Surf Curse, Y La Bamba). Their single When We’re Moving is a stellar preview: Infused with the soulful vibes of Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye, it’s a ’70s r&b gem, while capturing the yearning for a night of dancing with friends. It’s a vintage fusion of surf, soul, and garage rock, reminiscent of a more melodious version of The Detroit Cobras. But hold on tight, because after the second minute, the hammond and saxophone take over, dazzling with a spellbinding solo.
