GHOST FUNK ORCHESTRA, “Modern Scene”

Heavy psych and deep soul combine to form Ghost Funk Orchestra’s spacious “Modern Scene,” a song destined to soundtrack a drive straight into the sunset. Hazy vocals from Megan Mancini gird the ensemble’s loose rhythm, while surprise harmonies stab through plunky electric piano and lumbering jazz drums to add more “modern” to this scene. Atmosphere is king in this track, and the mix of strings, horns, and heart create a space where shocking guitar jabs blend into a smooth and effortless groove. Ghost Funk Orchestra have crafted a balanced gem of a song, serving up clear-eyed lyrics directly from the ether and gliding between moody and light instrumentation with agility and ease.
