Fronted by maverick musician Jack Stratton, Michigan-based funk band, Vulfpeck, have returned with their fifth studio album, The Joy of Music, The Job of Real Estate. Released 23 October 2020.

Vulfpeck have done a stellar job of reviving classic funk music since their formation in 2011, with a refreshingly minimalist approach to production, and eccentric undertones. Their music is mostly instrumental, strengthened by a watertight rhythm section; jazz-inflected keyboard and saxophone melodies; and crystallised guitar tones. Vulfpeck combine funk’s intrinsic rhythmic grounding with glossy pop melodies, creating intelligent, and infectious music. If such a musical term as ‘funk pop’ existed, then Vulfpeck would exceed all the requirements.

What’s more, they record all their music live in the studio, and seldom edit takes together, a rare practice in modern music recording.
