Origu releases two brandnew tracks by Andy Cooper of Ugly Duckling exclusively on 7“ vinyl, just in time for christmas.
‘Room To Breathe’ is a super-cool funk track that has Cooper lyrically swinging in the braggadocio tradition of Slick Rick and Grand Puba while ‘Unlikely Assassin’ is Andy’s homage to all the coolest, 1960’s secret agents with licenses to kill; Cooper murders microphones, of course.
