Doug Shorts - Day By DayChicago soul figure Doug Shorts links with West Coast modern funk crew Cosmic Slide on Day By Day, a limited 7" built from soulful songwriting and tight, new school groove craft. The vocal cut bridges generations with Shorts' deep, lived in delivery riding Cosmic Slide's crisp, bass wiggling production, while the instrumental strips things back to let the arrangement, drums and low end do the work.
