'Burnt Offering,' the new album from The Budos Band, is a wild,
booze-fueled ride of hazy riffs, take-no-prisoners horn lines and
relentless percussion
that summons the occult - an evolved sound for this mighty 10-piece
band sparked by their love of Black Sabbath and Pentagram. 'Burnt
Offering,' The
Budos Band's first album in four years, will be released October 21
on Daptone Records. Says Pitchfork of The Budos Band: "So tight and in
tune that
they've basically become this telepathically-communicating
instrumental hydra that ambushes you into moving your body on its
terms."
'Burnt Offering' was recorded live in the studio, engineered and
produced by Tom Brenneck, a founding member and guitarist in The Budos
Band who runs
Dunham Records and Studios and has worked with Cee-lo Green, The
Black Lips and more. It was written at the band's longtime Staten
Island studio,
where they've gathered for weekly rehearsals for over fifteen years.
The haunting album cover was created by drummer Brian Profilio, a NYC
public
school art teacher.
The new album is dripping with the psychedelic sounds of early heavy
metal fused with the tight-knit propulsion of Fela Kuti. "The Sticks"
kicks off
with a snarling riff seamlessly doubled on bass and guitar and
unfurls into sludgy breakdowns and searing guitars. The title track was
recorded with
a Binson Echorec, a classic tape machine used by Pink Floyd / Syd
Barrett.
The Budos Band has brought their loud, rowdy parties to venues and
festivals across the globe, and their music has been featured everywhere
from skate
videos to video games (MLB The Show), TV (Entourage), and film (New
York, I Love You)
