release yourself

On their second album Release Yourself (1974), the band revolving around bass guitar innovator Larry Graham returned with a set of 8 highly contagious, synth laden Funk songs.

Release Yourself is quite ahead of its time. While incorporating the latest innovations in keyboard instruments like the Mellotron and Hohner clavinets, this fun loving group were on the forefront of where Funk was bound to go a year or so later. Supertight rhythms, poppin' basslines and gospel like vocal chants, this album could be even labeled Disco avant la lettre.
