Afro-soul outfit the Budos Band unveiled a new psych-tinged scorcher, Old Engine Oil, that will appear on their forthcoming record, V, out April 12th via Daptone Records.
Old Engine Oil is centered around a rugged hard rock riff and a fanfare of gritty horns. The instrumental moves at a captivating chug until the Budos Band deftly spin it out into a psychedelic breakdown before steadily restructuring the original vamp for one final blast.
V marks the Budos Bands first album since 2014s Burnt Offering. In a statement, guitarist/producer TomBrenneck described the LP as having a mix of the rock and roll elements ofBurnt Offering, as well as other styles that could be found on the bands previous three records.
Budos is back with a vengeance, Brenneck said. I think that if you dont want to either get in a car and drive fast or just pour yourself a strong drink and start having some fun, then youre not listening to it loud enough.
V is available to pre-order digitally, as well as on CD and vinyl. The Budos Band will kick off a short North American tour in support of the record April 5th at Bowery Ballroom in New York City.
