VULFPECK /// Thrill of the Arts [Full Album]

[@greatbad5618]

Vulfpeck can be used as the Turing test for andriods. If you don't have the funk face when listening to them you are not human.

[@mpouilleantoine]

+Greatbad You mean Voight-Kampff test. But Yeah, absolutely :P.

[@mishasavage9998]

+Greatbad Disagree They're a soul band ... i dont feel that funky listening to them (except on conscious club). I mean that in the way that when I listen to old funkadelic or old brothers johnson, that shit is so heavy. These guys are a little fluffier

[@mishasavage9998]

I've got consistently confused feelings about this band

[@greatbad5618]

+Misha Savage (Silky Savage) Can you elaborate?

[@mishasavage9998]

Greatbad I enjoy a few tunes (Skymall, Newsboy, Conscious club are notables amongst others- Rango II has such freaking amazing guitar playing) Their production is that of a late 60s mid 70s rock band, tight, juicy lovely, well spaced ... almost like a billy joel or elton john record. sometimes even boston or quincy jones are hinted at. At times they sound like a late night show band (that would be a dank gig for them). they're incredibly solid harmonically and tight as a group (unless they're dubbing, in which they're freaking amazing engineers) But as soulful as they are, something irks me about them as being called a "funk" band in my perception of the word. They have that really close motown feel which is wonderful, but man, they're so polished that i've never heard their drums ever really, move me- they never approach any huge or bumping drum sounds ~ and they have these moments where im like, damn this is really melodically sound but, sometimes it just feels like... cheesy. like elevator music They dont ever get nasty. they never get filthy (or at least, they don't maintain these emotions aside from when Dart is going in on the bass) Even as much as they seemingly draw from prince, i never feel anything "sexy" when I listen to their tunes. (funky duck even feels kind of forced to my ears) Hence I have mixed feelings.

this entire album feels like what a charlie brown soundtrack would be if they all grew up and were in college

This is why I love you guys. I've already bought the album, but putting it up for free lets me share it with my friends so much easier, which increases the chances they'll buy it too! Smart move guys, keep the music coming!

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

The beginning Vulfmedley is fun. Sounds like what you hear from a really good late night comedy show band. I think it's the rock sax style that gives it that feel. Feels like Supertramp with late night show band.

[@joeyyoumans5930]

+Arthur Peterson Reminds me of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!

[@doktorarslanagic]

i love how joey dosik's song kinda takes a serious turn, at least a lyrically, so they put a minut long song with DOG BARK samples after it, just so it would turn the listener back to the sillier side of things, like songs which include lyrcis like "you gotta get down to los angeles, cause this year that's where santa is"

[@bareldwestra]

Love this little Vulfpeck album. The intro, "Welcome to Vulf Records", with the reference to "Outro" (another great Vulfpeck song) and that great Vulfpeck tune at the end, is just amazing. "Game Winner" and "Rango II" are also really great songs. Just another great Vulf album.

[@PhilosophicalCat]

Finding Vulfpeck in the sea of electronic pop music is a feeling that's impossible to describe

[@MrBTBusch]

Agreed

[@pofict]

Last track is so great because you know it's just Jack trying not to laugh while making shit up and playing with synth settings that sound like farts.

[@poorcolossus]

Took me right up to the end to realise it wasn't meant to be serious

Best album since Sgt Peppers

[@JairMuse]

The best music of this millennium so far.

[@LOLO3000]

Their music somehow feels ironic but yet so good.

[@drumpak]

+ShoroukTV right -- theres something about it that seems intentionally simple and almost even predictable at times, yet beautifully funky and detailed. If i was involved in the songwriting process i feel like I'd be laughing my ass off the whole time

[@ianmoore5502]

that's probably because they undoubtedly laugh their asses off the whole time remember, good theatre, as Jack put it, is 70% for their own enjoyment and 30% for ours. That means, imagine how much we enjoy it. They enjoy it 2.33333 times more.

8:56 A lot of times people will say a good guitarist is making his instrument sing, even if the guitar playing doesn't sound at all like singing. Blake Mills' guitar literally sounds like it's singing.

Track 4, Rango II, What the fuck, Blake Mills? Who is this fucking guy, and where the fuck can I find him to get some ideas?! This was one of the most unique and musical uses of the guitar that has been utilized for quite a while. Bravo, I hope one day to cross paths with this gentleman.

Glad you guys could make it a full one this time. I was starting to think that you all had some sort of collective finger disease that prevented you from playing more than 25 minutes in one sitting. Good to know that that cleared up. PS. Sad to see that "Call Me Maybe" didn't make it off of the cutting room floor.

[@Witchescrystal]

This is a solid album. Almost every track has something to offer and is great for coding to. The last track 'detracts', but the others make up for it.

[@5ch3nk]

Been listening to this non-stop all weekend. You done good. You done real good. Your selection of vocalists are unbelievably smooth, mold together with the music seamlessly. Also- mentioned this in the kickstarter comments but Smile Mediation makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Musical ASMR.

[@JoelKinsley22]

I think it's more of a reference to old-school broadcasts/credits from the 60s/70s...it was common to see bass players credited as playing a "fender bass" as opposed to just "bass". I'm not 100%, but i believe this was an effect of Fender being the predominant bass guitar manufacturer when guitars were still coming into fashion. This could all be malarkey, though...fact check, anyone? :)

[@NachoMist]

Fender bass is another more old-fashioned term for all electric basses, because for some time when the electric bass was invented they were the only company that made them.
