About
Content Source: OztixSumbisori is the debut album by newly formed Melbourne group Temporary Blessings, led by stalwart Melbourne trumpet player & composer Liam McGorry, released by local soul titans College of Knowledge Records.
Assembled to realise McGorrys compositions drawing on 1960s Italian & French soundtrack music, Temporary Blessings brings together trusted instrumentalists and fellow travelers from Melbournes rich enclave of cinematic soul. With Liam at the helm, the group is composed of members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, Saskwatch and Let Your Hair Down.
The resulting recordings realise McGorrys sonic visions of film noir, giallo, library music and cinematic soul, captured live in one room with what the maestro describes as a shared spirit. The recordings, produced by College Of Knowledge in-house producer Henry Jenkins, bring together emotive string arrangements, tough horns and a steadfast rhythm section with an acute attention to detail McGorry has developed over years in the saddle.
A veteran of Melbourne soul, McGorrys steady hands have touched some of the citys most revered projects over the last 15 years; McGorry-led projects Saskwatch, Dorsal Fins and Ex-Olympian sit aside Sampa The Great, Ella Thompson and Adrian Eagle on Liams list of credits and collaborators. He has contributed more than his fair share of bricks to the great structure of Melbourne soul, always playing the background, true to his humble nature.
Following the groups stone cold double-sider Fata Morgana b/w Silence Leaves an Open Wound, Temporary Blessings debut album Sumbisori expresses the romance and drama of 1960s Italian film scores with the unmistakable bent of Melbournes cinematic soul movement.
