Crew Love Launch Their New Label With a Funky House Anthem from Soul Clap, PillowTalk, and Greg Paulus

Stream "Love Train," while you wait for the 11 track full-album from the collective of BFFs .

Crew Love, the Brooklyn-based collective of artists that includes Soul Clap, Wolf + Lamb, PillowTalk, Slow Hands, No Regular Play, Nick Monaco, Navid Izadi, and Life on Planets, is a true family—albeit one that's kind of wacky and prone to all-night, booze-infused shenanigans. While the group's two founding duos have long had their own respective labels for releasing music (Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb Records) the whole family is finally starting their own collective label, aptly named Crew Love Records. Their debut release will be an album featuring the whole collective, Crew Love: Based on A True Story, due on February 26.

Including 11 tracks from all the Crew Love members—some in solo-form and others in collaboration—the album's press release promises "eight musical masterpieces about smoking pot, ex-girlfriends and of course, TRUE LOVE." Before the LP drops, the guys have hooked us up with a stream of vocally-driven house anthem "Love Train" which features Soul Clap, Pillowtalk, and No Regular Play trumpeter Greg Paulus. Give a listen to its sing-a-long house grooves below, as well as a quote about the track's construction from Soul Clap's Lonely C below that.
