The Baltimore duo Silk Rhodes, composed of vocalist Sasha Desree and producer Michael Collins, recently signed to Stones Throw Records, who just released their debut 7-inch this week. Its single “Pains” is a dusty slow-burner, a nuanced mellow groove with a lumbering bass line, orchestral swells and some vintage ’70s guitar twang. The B-side, “Face 2 Face,” is a minimal disco-funk jam that also appears on the soundtrack of the Stones Throw documentary “Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton.” A proper debut full-length album is on the way.
