One of John’s top 10 picks for 2019 (really this […]
A song that offers a lot to love: an enormous, organized, melodic sound, PLUS tons of Vin-Diesel-style imagery. We listen to this song constantly. This band is new and we anticipate that very soon they will be too big to talk to us anymore. Featured on our #61 podcast https://music.apple.com/us/album/exploding-car/1450402479?i=1450402504

Stop playing G chords in 4/4 time!’ then Ghost Funk Orchestra is the band you’ve been waiting for. As with all descendants-of-jazz, their project is to do Next without doing Too Much.
