Fresh off of the heels of its tenth album, Family Dinner - Volume Two,
the band is returning to its roots as an instrumental ensemble with a
brand new collection of nine original songs. A departure from its
signature live-from-the-studio film and audio style, the band spent a
week in the middle of a pecan orchard at the remote Sonic Ranch Studios
in Tornillo, Texas, just a five minute walk from the Mexican border.
With no cameras, no audience, and the opportunity to overdub, they have
crafted an album much darker and moodier than any before it. The typical
flash and bombastic moments that Snarky Puppy is known for have been
replaced by a more patient, restrained, and sonically creative approach
to both composition and performance. The melodies are intricate, the
counterpoint is fluid, and groove reigns supreme in mixes that are bass
and percussion-heavy.
