Experience the Maple Harbor catalog through the lens of experimental funk and yacht rock.
Greasy and The Pork Sandwiches is the grit and groove of the Maple Harbor multiverse. This project takes the foundational blueprints from North of Alder and Jon Shields and reimagines them through a saturated lens of smooth rock, blues, and syncopated funk. Defined by gravelly soul, tight rhythm sections, and a "pocket-first" philosophy, the band proves that a melodic story can be a gentle folk song in one life and a high-energy, floor-shaking anthem in another. As a vital pillar of Maple Harbor Records, they provide the essential "Soul" perspective to a catalog that knows no genre boundaries.
Greasy and The Pork Sandwiches
"Cool Like The Other Side Of The Pillow" is a slick, sun-drenched triumph from Greasy and The Pork Sandwiches that captures the polished, breezy essence of the golden era of FM radio. As a standout tribute to the yacht rock aesthetic, the album utilizes a lush palette of electric pianos and grooving bass lines to paint a sonic landscape of neon-lit marinas and salt-sprayed deck parties.
The record is defined by its impeccable production—moving from smooth, mid-tempo glides that feel like a sunset cruise on the Pacific to infectious, horn-driven grooves fueled by crisp percussion and harmonically rich vocal stacks. Unlike a modern retro-pastiche, "Cool Like The Other Side Of The Pillow" embraces a high-fidelity sophistication that feels both nostalgically familiar and impressively fresh. It is a suave and effortless listening experience, serving as the perfect soundtrack for the chilled cocktails and easy-going lifestyles it so vividly celebrates.
