Jr Thomas Jr. Thomas in the Eraserhood (White)

Best known for his work in Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos, Minnesota singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Jr. Thomas returns with a collaboration that pays homage to the golden era of soul music. Teaming up with Philadelphia production duo Maxwell Perla & Vincent John - AKA Eraserhood Sound - he's proud to present his new album 'Jr. Thomas in the Eraserhood''Jr. Thomas in the Eraserhood' came together through the magic of collaboration, and Thomas' drive to find the perfect musicians and studiocombination to fulfil his vision. After hearing Eraserhood's work with Kendra Morris, Angelo Outlaw, and Say She She, he knew he'd found the perfect match: "The Eraserhood sessions were fuelled by focus, hard work, and puredetermination. In the late summer of 2023, I approached Vince and Max from Eraserhood with the vision of making an album-despite not having a single song written. We booked a winter session, and I spent the next fourmonths writing."Fast forward a few months, and Thomas flew out to Philadelphia alongside his confidant on keys, Raynier Jacildo (The Volcanos, The Black Keys) for 4-days in Eraserhood's Philly studio - formerly owned and purpose-built by Questlove. The results of working in a studio rich with history are clear when listening to 'Jr. Thomas in the Eraserhood'. An authentic, analog-focused take on soul music, it pays respect to the genre whilst joining a growing movement that seeks to bring the uplifting energy of the music to a new generation of listeners. Following in the footsteps of recent breakthroughs from the likes of Jalen Ngonda, Thee Sacred Souls and Pale Jay, the record moves between sunshine-ready, groove laden cuts like 'Can't Leave You Alone' and 'By Your Side', whilst also finding space for bluesy contemplation on tracks like 'Never Be Another' - a heartfelt tribute to and old friend of Thomas' from Minneapolis.
