Soul, jazz, pop, break beats, hip hop, poetry and plenty of groovy samples to go around… Hope & Sorrow is one of those super cool albums that set a mood and runs it’s course for nearly 90 minutes. Perfect for that long drive, hosting a dinner party or just slamming some cheese & crackers over Happy Hour. The room of people will sway, bob, bounce and even dance throughout. No songs are abstruse or unpalatable.

“Wax Tailor, a.k.a. JC Le Saoût, has taken the corner. His sophomore release, Hope & Sorrow, has the gravity that one sees on Shadow’s Endtroducing or Portishead’s debut”

“The collaborations featured on Hope & Sorrow aren’t the type that a record label sets up purely for publicity’s sake. Wax Tailor seems like he’s nothing but selective about whom he gets down with in the studio. And this pickiness pays off”
