Ruckus

Description

Here is their fourth true studio album. Galactic resolutely moves away from its past as a wild New Orleans jazz-rock band to explore another of its traditions: Voodoo Funk. Far from merely imitating the aesthetic of the Mardi Gras Indians or Dr. John, Galactic turns decisively toward the technological present with music featuring primordial groove machine sounds. Bass, bass, and more bass are omnipresent, while strange keyboard sounds emerge, evoking an unreleased Lee Perry session gone digital. Ruckus is a bewitching journey beyond midnight, that moment when anything is possible. It is music that deconstructs a sonic palette, symbolizing the deconstruction, death, and rebirth of a band. And Galactic emerges all the better for this bold new direction. Ruckus is an album overflowing with irresistible grooves, produced by Dan The Automator. Available in a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on yellow and green marbled vinyl, with an insert.
