I think they have six or more albums out at this point, but Sleaford Mods are new to me as of this year. Their latest album, Spare Ribs, is a lot of funky; slightly awkward, overly serious at times, too silly at others and generally easy to love but hard to categorize. There are quite a few good tracks on Spare Ribs, so it was a bit tough to pick one. I went with “Mork n Mindy” for a few reasons, not least of which is the terrific guest vocal performance by Billy Nomates. Her latest, especially “Petrol Fumes”, is great.
Kamasi Washington - Desire
| Keith
Kamasi Washington is an improvisational artist. I hesitate to call his music "jazz", despite my initial inclination, because it seems more nuanced than that. To be honest, it's not in my wheelhouse and it's hard for me to describe. I think that's one of the reasons why I find it so compelling.
RIYL: Esperanza Spalding, Thundercat, Critters Buggin, Medeski, Martin and Wood
