2016 release. Snarky Puppy introduces their first new band album in two years, Culcha Vulcha. The album title refers to how we - the Western civilized world - have all become slaves to pop culture, consuming as many messages to "buy", "be" and "get" as possible. The album is a slight departure for Snarky Puppy; darker, with elements of rock along with brilliant flourishes of R&B, funk, soul, jazz, bossa nova, electric blues and more. True! Standout tracks: "Big Ugly," "Semente" and "Grown Folks."
