Album Review
DJ Postnatal
Reviewed 2020-02-06
Fifth album from the big funky Afrobeat band from Brooklyn. Horns and drums dominate. Many tracks have 70s vibes and a vinyl crackling. All instrumental.

RIYL Antibalas, Fela Kuti, Charles Mingus Big Band, Led Zeppelin
FCC clean
Recommended tracks: 1, 2, 6, 8

1. (3:11) * Uptempo big horn instrumental with rock guitar solos.
2. (3:58) * Saucy, funky, minor-key keyboard and horns.
3. (3:06) Horns, stuttering bass, organ keyboard. Lots of starts and stops, cowbell. Sax solo that slaps.
4. (3:21) Straight out of a ‘70s cop flick, or Bollywood anything. Slower ominous horns with crackling organ keys. Gets more psychedelic towards the end.
5. (3:33) Echoing ethereal keyboards, wibbly wobbly, got that cowbell.
6. (3:29) * Uptempo minor key with old horror flick-style keyboards, sick high-pitched horn solo.
7. (3:30) Midtempo minor key rock guitar, urgent punctuating horns.
8. (4:16) * Plodding midtempo lament that gets more optimistic with sensual horns, funky keyboard.
9. (0:48) Short interlude featuring the bass and drums.
10. (4:27) Downtempo minor key horns with crooning bass. Gets funkier for the last minute.
