This group is new to me - they're on mello music and this is their second album (I think) with features from Oddisee, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Quelle Chris.

Listened this morning and was really blown away -- they present themselves as a "neo-soul" quartet and that kind of makes sense (weird how that term is coming back into play again)... you can hear a lot of Dilla in the beats, for instance... but it's a lot more than that. Lyrics are really rich even when they're riffing on common themes; the band shows some great musicianship here (whoever is on keys is killing it); and they're not afraid to be a little goofy/fun without feeling gimmicky.

Kind of reminds me of Tank & the bangas but... I'll just say better and leave it at that, lol.

Def worth a listen! I have a feeling I'll be playing this for a while.
