This is the culmination of the all natural cohesion of three great musical genres: funk, rock, and jazz. Arjun demonstrates that lyrics aren’t necessary to tell a story, all you need is raw instruments. But what is behind those raw instruments is raw talent, and that is the true story of this new group. There is a bonding that is blatantly obvious among this threesome that is hard to define, one just needs to open his or her ears and mind and soak in all that is 7 track release. Focus tracks: 1 “Balls,” 3 “Wung It,” and 6 “Longass” -Jake Burritt
