THE BUDOS BAND RELEASE NEW SINGLE “ARCANE RAMBLER” | ALBUM OUT APRIL 12 ON DAPTONE RECORDS
NATIONAL SPRING TOUR INCLUDES NYC RELEASE SHOWS JOINED BY MENAHAN STREET BAND, HOLY HIVE + SPECIAL GUESTS
The Budos Band will release their new album titled V on April 12 via Daptone Records followed by a tour of select North American cities. The tour kicks off with two hometown shows, the first of which will include legendary label mates Menahan Street Band and Dap-King Homer Steinweissβ Holy Hive on the bill. The band announced the record alongside the release of acclaimed lead single βOld Engine Oilβ. Today, they invite fans on a delightfully trippy sonic journey with second album cut βArcane Ramblerβ premiered with Rolling Stone.
Over the course of their nearly decade and a half long career, the 60βs/70βs influenced afro-soul instrumental bandβs thunderous and eclectic sound has known no bounds. Budos Band V is a collection of expertly crafted energizing guitar licks, syncopated percussion precision, vigorous horns, and validates that the band is in their most monumental form to date.
Guitar player/producer, Tom Brenneck says Budos Band V feels like the truest representation of the band, describing the record as having the rock and roll element found in their 2014 album, Burnt Offering, as well as songs that could have found themselves on the first three Budos records. Two decades of playing together has resulted in an evolved sound since their Afro-soul beginnings, but no matter how many new influences get mixed in over the years, they remain in sync. This harmonious blend stems from the collaboration between Brenneck and Daptone co-founder Gabe Roth, who produced the band’s first three records and was at the helm of the mixing board for Budos Band V.
