This was the backing band on Amy Winehouse's last album, but don't hold that against them. 100 Days, 100 Nights came out in 2007 but sounds like it's from the 60's. Sharon Jones knows how to do it.

"Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are a funk/soul band. They are signed to Daptone Records, where the Dap-Kings are the house band (Sharon Jones, the singer, has been singing since the '70s and was even a prison guard for a while). Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are widely thought to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Part of the way this is achieved is to shun modern digital recording methods in favour of using traditional analogue recording equipment. The type of instruments used by the band may also be considered limited to those that would have been available up until the mid seventies."

04. Somebody Loved

06. Simple Life

The song "All That I Want" was on an Old Navy Christmas commercial, so they have that cute Ingrid Michaelson vibe. Not recommended for dudes. I mean, their name is The Weepies, and the album is called Happiness, that's a little gay. But girls will really like it.

His twelve new catchy creations boast addictive beats and positive, memorable lyrics, including lyrics by David Shrigley, Deerhoof's designer.
