Waterhouse Nick - Time's All Gone

Facts Originally released in 2012. Nick Waterhouse is the new breed - a 25 year old r&b fanatic who combines an uncanny old-school sensibility with a charged, contemporary style. He joins the ranks of similar acts and producers of recent times - Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne, Aloe Blacc et al - that are all moving forward into the past, yet all quite different. For Waterhouse, his muse is the over-modulated sound of vintage's r&b. His take on such a time-honoured tradition evokes the back-alley thrill of New Orleans, Detroit and Memphis in their heyday and has resonated with fans the world over (his debut 45 sells for upwards of $250 dollars). Waterhouse combines an astute attention to detail with an honest desire to match the emotional impact of the music that inspires him by using all vintage equipment recording to magnetic tape and mastered straight to mono on the same gold star studios lathe that Phil Spector and the Beach Boys once used.
