This year marks a significant milestone for The Rurals as they celebrate 30 years since their first release in 1995.

To commemorate this special occasion, the renowned group is excited to announce the release of their 32nd album, titled "Time Keeps Passing On”

Over the past three decades, The Rurals have maintained their dedication to producing high-quality jazzy soul music, often referred to as Deep House.

Their unique sound has captivated audiences worldwide, and they continue to innovate and inspire with each new project.

For this latest album, Andy Compton has brought together some of the original Rurals members along with talented local and international musicians, creating a rich and diverse musical journey.

"Time Keeps Passing On" showcases the group’s evolution while staying true to their roots in soulful melodies and deep house/ downtempo grooves.

People are often puzzled by the thought that the picturesque pastures of Devonshire, UK can be home to the distinctive sound of delicate jazzy beats laid over the sweetest soul-drenched vocals.
Yet, it’s true!

Since 1994, The Rurals have been perfecting a unique style of live elements with thumping electronic music from their countryside haven.
