Over 10 years ago, Leon Michels released his first full length record, Sounding Out The City. It was Michels' first full length record under

the moniker El Michels Affair. At the time, the budding retro soul scene consisted of mostly organ quartets a la The Meters and of course,

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings were in the early days of their ascent to world domination.

Leon Michels, who was 18 when recording Sounding Out The City began, had just released Thunder Chicken, the first record by his high

school band The Mighty Imperials. At the time of SOTC, Michels was just discovering early rocksteady, afrobeat, and 60's garage rock,

which inevitably crept its way into the songwriting. He purchased a Tascam 388, an 80's 1/4" reel to reel 8 track intended for home

recordings, and began recording music in a 10x10 box with no windows that also doubled as his childhood bedroom. Along with fellow

Mighty Imperials Nick Movshon, Homer Steinweiss, and Sean Solomon, and Michael Leonhart, Thomas Brenneck, and some of the

musicians from The Dap Kings, Michels recorded the LP over a two year period.
