Whenever I mention Snarky Puppy to someone: “Wait - you know Snarky Puppy!?!” A few times I’ve worn SP swag, I’ve had folks yell out “Snarky Puppy!” Even though Snarky Puppy may not be “mainstream” by typical standards, there are a lot of us fans out there. This album and songs like this are the reason why.

@@emilioguzmanalvarez420JT is the only drummer I've ever heard live that actually felt like he was dragging back the tempo and simply refusing to let anyone get too fast. It was awesome. That snare doesn't miss.

That whole tone lick on the electric piano at 4:23 was so unexpected but so perfect

I’ve listened to this album countless times since September and I still notice new things after watching the videos. The way Snarky blend instruments on this album is so cool. The mix of the moog bass, baritone guitar and clavinet is such a rad sound.

​@@lsh3rdYeah! Bill plays it sometimes. In this album, you can see him play it in Pineapple, too.

I love the percussion and drums during Maz's solo, and the keyboardists trading solos and licks at the end, and, of course, the insane groove. 3:30-3:59 is such a beautiful moment.

It's stuff like Bobby Sparks at the end, doing their own mixing. I just keep learning something new every time I watch these.

Watching these guys perform is in a word... MAGICAL!

Just saw SP at Chautauqua Institution, NY, (27 June 2023) sporting a 10-member lineup. They were still able to deliver rich sonic scapes with that 'reduced' number, but MAN, I would love to hear this full complement live. What a treat that would be. These videos illustrate the potential that so many instruments and musicians bring to the table.

Inspired by many Funk/R&B bands from the 80's.

Reminds me of something like an old Jeff Beck or Return to Forever song, deconstructed, everything at 1/4 speed and twice the musical depth. Awesome.

I have listened to this song live in Istanbul last November, and it was fire 🔥🔥amazing ❤❤

How do they keep doing this. Another masterpiece!!

Definitely “kept ” and stuck in my “mind”!

I CANT EVEN. Just incredible

Great track and classic Snarky theme ...and great solo by Maz :)

Damn this is a jam

I so wish I had seen this performance at the recording sessions...the amount of musical mastery here is snarkily amazing. Maz may have stolen the show on this one, but Bobby and Bill are truly brilliant and Shaun is playing like he is truly blessed. a quick shout out to Michael Harrison and Nic Hard for the great work you do putting Snarky Puppy in my ears and in my soul.

4:00 - 4:14 That's Amazing! Im not gonna lie

Da Boyz! I remember when...

Randy Brecker would be so proud... Well done solo!

This song has one of the best mixes I have ever heard, maybe even the best; I truly can't think of anything I have heard that has ever sounded that good.

Жыл бұрын

Uhh No. We were still arranging our parts and trying new things During the recording. Easier compositions, yes and no, meaning Simple has many layers and can be difficult at times. Getting the right "Feel" is just as difficult, more actually, than playing a bunch of notes. However, the process of learning 3 drum parts is never "easy", as we have to play this by ourselves on tour. So you can't lay back and only learn/know your part. Part of the reason he stated it was his easiest album is because he had more time to actually learn the songs, though the rehearsal schedule was still Very intense for this record and double the amount of songs.
