YES!!! I'm so glad you dropped Vulf in here.

I agree with ya that there are LOADS of fantastic old school funk musicians, but Vulfpeck is helping to carry the torch forward. I love how their music is so tight and their virtuosity as musicians is unmatched, yet they really don't take themselves that seriously, haha! Also, it's so cool how you can watch videos of them playing all their music... it's not like they're recording to the grid and just looping everything or cleaning everything up in the studio. I also love how they bring in so many other amazing musicians with them... it's a very collaborative, team environment. That comes out in the music too — it's not like you have one person soloing and taking all the attention, everyone is sharing the spotlight and what's most impressive is how good they all sound together, no one is necessarily outshining anyone else (tbc, what they individually are doing is impressive too, haha!)

Definitely one of my favorite groups out there right now! I still really wanna see them live.
