Boogie Through the Back Alleys of Addis Ababa on Pat Jordache’s “Moses 147”

Last year Montreal artist and founder of Banko Gotiti Records—the imprint responsible for releases by artists including Tc All-Stars and synth-pop auteur Scott Hardware—Pat Jordache (aka Patrick Gregoire) released Steps, his breezy, psych-pop sophomore album inspired by Brian Eno, plastic soul, and “Vogue” producer Shep Pettibone.

For his latest single “Moses 147,” the multi-instrumentalist looked to the “back alleys of Addis Ababa” for inspiration, pulling elements of Ethiopian jazz and 70s boogie together for a woozy saxophone-heavy jam that clocks in at just over ten minutes.
