Label: Waggle Dance Records
Release date: 04/14/2023

Waggle Dance Records presents; Joe Yorke & The Co-Operators ‘A Distant Beat’.

Bristol based singer Joe Yorke has once again been busy in the studio with his old time friend and long time collaborator, producer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist Eeyun Purkins. Alongside Eeyun’s studio band The Co-Operators they have recorded a brand new long player ‘A Distant Beat’. It features eight kitchen sink stories from the breadline, message music for these desperate times. Musically enclosed in their trade mark sound it combines soulful rocksteady & forward stepping reggae with that distinctly authentic flavor that Eeyun’s productions have become known for.

With two LPs already under their belts and a dub album also on the way The Co-Operators haven’t taken their foot off the gas since bursting on to the scene with their 2019 debut ‘Rhythms from the Kitchen Sink’. The album’s lead single ‘Tonight’, a track that saw Joe York’s falsetto unleashed on the world, is still seeing heavy rotation on sound systems around the world.

Hot on the tail of a number of collaborations including two singles with Stand High Patrol and Joe’s self produced LP ‘Noise and Emptiness’, Joe and Eeyun don’t seem to be slowing down and they are excited for you to hear this latest body of work.
