VULFPECK /// Fugue State [Full Album]

[@jackeld7790]

I remember going to see these guys play at a USC house party. By the time Vulfpeck was halfway through their set, I looked back and the place was /packed/. I mean there were people everywhere! Rows of people going all the way back into the street, people standing on trash cans, sitting in window sills, dancing on the roof, sitting on shoulders, honestly i thought the house was gunna collapse. I've spent hundreds of dollars to see bands perform in massive stadiums but nothing has ever compared to the $10 I spent to watch this band groove out for an hour across the street from an Arco gas station. So good.

[@stopitsgingertime]

yo, i booked that show. best night of my life. so glad you had a great time

[@mushroomman52]

@@stopitsgingertime Thanks for providing us with those interviews (:

[@pellebalayette8329]

Fugue State is a masterpiece. It feels like flying in outer space in a spaceship made of marsmallows.

[@thmsrttg]

as with every Woody Goss song, actually ;)

[@anneldridgemalone]

I love your description. Big marshmallows or the little ones? Silly question-big ones, right?!!😂🛸

[@crisapps6491]

@@anneldridgemalone I think the perfect description for the wurli of woody, are the little marshmallows

[@fabioguggeri325]

I love the wurlitzer leg at 10:53 - if I hadn't watched the video, I would have had no idea it was "extra", it fits perfectly with tone and timing

[@tegmiles5569]

What you mean?

[@coughingfrog]

@@tegmiles5569 if you watch the video for sky mall, you can see that a wurlitzer's leg falls over and makes that *clang* noise, which fit perfectly into the recording

[@FreneticZetetic]

Sky Mall is like an acid trip through an options menu in a late 90's/early 2000's PC game.

[@JohnChapman7]

Or plays during the outtakes on the DVD extras from a SciFi Comedy movie.

[@paolopellegrino9915]

discovered this band two days ago and gone crazy since then

[@anneldridgemalone]

Me too, a week ago. I am sleep DEPRIVED😮😊🎉

[@kohlrabi4342]

same but yesterday hi everyone

[@mzkabn]

thank you for bringing this to the universe we share

[@jacobcj408]

Fuge state was the firs vulph song i ever heard and I've been obsessed ever since

[@randallway95]

Huge Mercy, Mercy, Mercy sound in Newsbeat... I love that song and this one. This album melts my ears

[@gordonohallmhurain]

Vulfpeck is my new favourite band. After Toronto indie band Yuka though, do yourself a service and check them out, they're awesome like these guys.

[@jasonadams3922]

Dermot O'Halloran That sounds like a plan!

[@brycepratt5662]

Dermot O'Halloran Checked 'em out, was definitely worth it.

[@gordonohallmhurain]

Bryce Pratt Jason Adams Aren't they? Lol I know some of them

[@pedroisstone]

Dermot O'Halloran oh yea thank you for that

[@cindytracy5879]

Vulfpeck is like a cross between Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, and a healthy dig from past and present of funky blends. Brilliant bass lines AND they totally have fantastic taste IMHO in their use of sound effects on the instrumentation. Don't get me started on the keyboard sounds. Impressed on all sides :-)

[@moodhafilol]

absolutely love you guys. bringing real music back into it! such great bass and extremely funky keyboard riffs. I'm sure I'm not the only one to say that you absolutely need more of antwan. His voice is godly and definitely completes your sound. I do love the instrumentals tho, just need more of antwan. cant stop singing 1612

[@mredyhcapamab]

moodhafilol I live for 1612 and feel like someone stole the rest of Vulfpeck w/Antwaun from the world

[@ryanlol101]

Vulfpeck need to tour in England, it would make my life. I don't care if I have to pay for their tickets to get here, to hear this live would be impossibly amazing.

[@xolith]

+Ryan Meadows wouldn't it be cheaper for you to fly to them?

[@dangowad5368]

+Ryan Meadows They're coming to London Sept 16-17th ;) Brooklyn Bowl, O2 Arena, £20

[@theflyingmusician1]

YES! See you there brother, I just discovered Vulfpeck yesterday and bought the ticket straight away. I thought that if I didn't, I'd probably regret not seeing them for ever so there I am, on the coach from Newport to London to see them :D

[@dangowad5368]

theflyingmusician1 * Sister, and yep I'm well excited! Hope you enjoy :)

[@3xStampA2xStamp]

i could listen to sky mall all god damn day

[@gigimacchiagodena9336]

One of the few interesting things listened in these years.

[@a.KniteOwl]

[@DavisSchulz]

großartig.

[@BrentShiohama]

Holy sh!7! Just randomly stumbled upon you guys, where have you been all my life! So much groove, so much swag, so much funk, so much soul! Keep it up. Love it all. The drummer is so dialed in I can't stop dancing, that bass speaks to my soul, those keys are more warm than a hawaiian rainbow, and that voice, wordddddddd. Thank you for existing to make sweet sweet music for my ears

[@sasquatchdoorsfan]

Dig the Beastly reference in the last track, but I was expecting it to get funkier with a 4th installment...

[@samuelbrown2491]

Your sound is like every I like in my groove put together. Fugue state is definitely my favorite song on te album.

[@wasret83]

My best friend/drummer died before we ever got to jam to some vulfpeck. He would’ve appreciated them so much. They are a sign that the funk never dies

[@feartheglosshh]

The transition from first place was really cool. I like how it sounds like they could jam for straight hours.

[@doktorarslanagic]

god bless you, vulfpeck

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

Thank you YourMovieSucksDOTorg for introducing me to Vulfpeck and Elevator Music

[@wtftelex]

Sky Mall is fucking insane. That's some Wooten level shit right there.

[@genarostudio]

That is also very sped up.

[@null2846]

they sped the track up? so they're not actually playing this as fast?

[@genarostudio]

No

[@edwardw6622]

No kidding..

[@fabioguggeri325]

What are you, 13? If so, well, do us a favor. Come back here in 10 years, or even just 5, to read these comments again. The feeling of shame you'll feel by reading them, thinking "god, I was a dumbass kid" will be enough to make up for your idiocy now. If not, I feel sorry for you and the people you meet every day.

I love the Fugue State very much, this is master piece.

[@ChrisBakerDrummer]

Close your eyes and "First Place" could easily be mistaken for the greats Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, and Will Lee. And that's some friggin' high praise. This is outstanding.

[@giacomoc4119]

There seems to be a "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" quote at 16:42. And also one of "Beastly" at 18:07. They are both great pieces!

[@DrakeMartin]

One of the best EPs of all time.

[@sotnasaicirtap]

Cannot stop listening to this. So good.

[@jessenorman91]

first place is definitly my favorite song of all time

[@KaneDWilliams]

Love Vulfpeck! Also check out Brother Strut. Not as dirty and filthy funk, but still a very funky, tight band. I like the stuff where they are playing in the attic room. Also loving jar Bernhoft. Amazing live too.

[@kristyanaputri]

Just discovered this album on 2022. This album is sooo dope and groove game is strong! That "Frank Sinatra" in 1612 though!! Everytime I hear Antwaun singing it, I always sing and shout along as if I'm in the middle on their concert.

[@YourSongmaker]

Solid. Excellent. Perfect. Just some words for this.

[@j.allday6457]

This album is Funking Fantastic! Please come to upstate NY! Preferably Albany!

[@CoreysCards]

No fucking way I had the exact same thought.

[@Steve_Trotta]

I am biased, because Steely Dan has been my favorite band since I was like 12, but Vulfpeck is not quite there for me. They are also a very different band. VERY GOOD, VERY TALENTED, not Steely Dan though, for me. But, great taste!!!
