    Sophomore album from Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalists Menahan Street Band, line up comprising made up members from Budos Band, El Michels Affair, Antibalas, and the Dap-Kings. 

    Cinematic, haunting, melancholy soulful instrumentals with a slightly Speghetti Western, Morricone-eerieness. Influenced as much by legendary Memphis soul label Stax/Volt as early RZA-produced WU Tang.
