Battery Milk

Funky stuff led by vibraphone for a cool, hip sound, but it gets weird with occasional male vocals: deep, croaky, kind of evil. (3,4,5,6,10; actual singing on 8,11) Some tracks include loud guitar, very much rock-oriented, maybe with touches of metal. Very accessible and danceable, but it's not the easily defined funk ride of, say, Charlie Hunter. FCC safe.

1- Goes for jazzy urban funk, fairly fast w/scratching sounds.
2- Mid/fast, coolly funky, catchy. Second vibes solo kicks
3- Midtempo, creeping feel. Vocal appears after 3 minutes, for a catchy downtrodden tune.
4- Spoken vocal. Subtle mystery riffs; ends w/ loud guitar
5- Big fuzzy guitar, loud. Growly, weird spoken vocal
6- Spoken vocal, mostly about sex (but FCC OK).
7- Bubbly classic-rock guitar riff. Mid/fast, comes out swinging.
8- Aaron Neville cover. Minor-key, downtrodden but funky.
9- Jazz/bluesy funk. A bit bland, but nice solos.
10- Driving jungle-beat chaos, some metal ideas, narrator typifying the Ugly American
11- Friendly light funk, anti-Bush lyrics and samples. Midtempo
12- Brisk. Nice dry snap of snare drum. Mid/fast.
