recent music discovery: Menahan Street Band

Nov 16, 2017 23:03

So rad. They're a currently-active instrumental soul band that makes really lovely, tense tracks that sound like they wouldn't be out of place in a movie score.

Some of my favorite tracks from them:
"Make the Road By Walking" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud_jP6U3fNI
"The Contender" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_qPHC6JxbQ

(though basically all their stuff is great)

There's a whole record label dedicated to new funk and soul, actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daptone_Records
