Devotees of vintage soul and R&B, the Mighty Sceptres are a Cornwall-based combo led by Nick Radford and <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Angeline Morrison</a> that mixes cool rhythms of the '50s and '60s with the sultry vocals of <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Ms. Morrison</a>. Nick Radford is a musician and graphic artist who has also recorded under the name <a href="spotify:artist:3FTGdBkQac0wAdfrh8DAeC">Frootful</a>, and previously worked with <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Morrison</a> on projects for the U.K. retro-soul label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Freestyle+Records%22">Freestyle Records</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Morrison</a>, meanwhile, sang with <a href="spotify:artist:5e3Z7HYpiVcP3TlU0a4yap">Lack of Afro</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6k9h6EBHlve9Dpgt1cHFr4">the Ambassadors of Sorrow</a> and cut a solo album in 2013, Are You Ready Cat? In mid-2013, Radford and <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Morrison</a> teamed up for a new project, the Mighty Sceptres, with Radford on guitar and <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Morrison</a> singing. Recruiting a band (complete with horns) and partnering with producer Kryzysztof Oktalski, the Mighty Sceptres went into the studio to cut their first single, "Siren Call," utilizing a facility with the same type of vintage console that was used to cut <a href="spotify:artist:3dkbV4qihUeMsqN4vBGg93">Al Green</a>'s classic hits of the '70s, and making sure the musicians were working with period-appropriate gear. Released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Ubiquity+Records%22">Ubiquity Records</a> in late 2013, "Siren Song" made a splash with nuevo-soul fans, and in 2014 Radford and <a href="spotify:artist:3AQ6ero9deFslFBSenrtKX">Morrison</a> got to work on the Mighty Sceptres' first full-length recording project. Produced by Chris Pedley of <a href="spotify:artist:5o5xukNIR9e7FnMEcp0bE9">the Baker Brothers</a>, All Hail the Mighty Sceptres! was released in September 2014. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
