Cookin’ On 3 Burners – Cookin’ The Books

The long-awaited new album Cookin’ The Books from Cookin’ On 3 Burners arrives on high-quality black vinyl, pressed in Germany for exceptional sound. Housed in a beautifully printed sleeve and finished with a protective shrink wrap, this edition brings the band’s signature soul and funk grooves to life in a format made to be spun, collected, and cherished.

Hot off the griddle, Cookin’ The Books is the long-awaited new album from Australia’s kings of Hammond soul, Cookin’ On 3 Burners. Their first studio LP in six years finds the trio in top form – deep in the pocket, wide in scope, and stacked with heavyweight collaborators.

Guests
The album features a powerful guest lineup including electrifying live vocalist Stella Angelico, acclaimed soul artist Natalie Slade (Steve Spacek, Katalyst, Simon Mavin), hip hop mainstay Mantra alongside Jane Tyrrell (The Herd), rising alt-soul voice Wilson Blackley, and a sweeping string arrangement from composer/violinist Tamil Rogeon (Aloe Blacc, The Dandy Warhols).

Tracks
Across 14 tracks and just over 55 minutes, the group shifts seamlessly between gritty instrumentals and lush vocal cuts – from the cinematic funk of “Only Words,” to the break-beat heavy title track “Cookin’ The Books,” the bumping bounce of “No Bread For You,” and the introspective soul of “Phoenix.” Every track reflects the group’s deep funk DNA while carving out bold new territory.
