Tone of Arc “Chalk Hill”

09 May 2013 — Henning Lahmann

San Francisco-based duo Tone of Arc aka multi-instrumentalist and producer Derrick Boyd and Zoe Presnick are conquering Boiler Room London tonight in anticipation of their debut full-length The Time Was Right, and we're happy to premiere album track "Chalk Hill" today, in anticipation of the anticipation if you will. The tune is maddeningly funky, showing off more than a few knowing nods to classic, golden-age disco, complete with motorik, irresistible rhythms and a hilariously infectious bassline. A throwback like those are supposed to be.

The Time Was Right is out Monday, May 13 via Toronto-based No.19 Music.

Below, also check out the video for another track from the album, "Goodbye Horses", which sets an entirely different tone while still remaining subtly funky:
