UPDATE: Part time Heroes have been shortlisted for best track and best live session in this year's Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards. [Vote]
Another installment in the hugely popular 'Under The Influence with....' series.
This time around we have Part Time Heroes off Mums The Word Records.
Who are Part Time Heroes?
Well, no-one really knows. Like myself, these heroes prefer to lurk in the shadows and let the music do the talking. Except these hereos make the tunes. ;-)
Made up of Shop Boy and Sandwich Man, Part Time Heroes deliver beautifully crafted tracks that capture you in their soulful wonder with rich layers of smooth grooves.
And with Gilles Peterson supporting your hero cause you can't go too wrong!
"I love their sound. They come across as a jazzier Zero 7, I'm feeling that!"
Without further ado!

Under the Influence with....Part Time Heroes
Artist: Joni Mitchell
Tune; A Case Of You.
Its just the most beautiful track I've ever heard, musically and lyrically. incredibly honest and moving.

Artist: Elbow
Tune: Scattered Black and Whites. I could have picked any number of tracks by this band. I think they're so underated and have been a huge source of inspiration to both toby and I. I think their depth of songwriting and the way they contruct they're music is astounding.

Artist; Stevie Wonder
Tune: Summer Soft.
Once again, I could have picked any number of tracks. Stevie is probably one of my most enduring, but moreover earliest musical influences. When I was about 3 or 4, I can remember learning how to use my parents record player and just dancing myself sick to Songs in the Key of Life , so he's got to be in there.

Tune: Brandon Heights
