Album Notes & Community Reviews

The tenth studio outing from the Vulfpeck guitarist features a diverse array of guest vocalists and instrumentalists recorded across multiple sessions in Minneapolis and Nashville. The production prioritizes a clean, high-fidelity sound that emphasizes Wong鈥檚 signature rhythmic 'strat' playing and precise funk timing. It functions as a celebratory exploration of classic soul-funk structures, balancing technical instrumental mastery with radio-oriented pop sensibilities.
