Gala Drop

Six years have passed since Lisbon dubsters Gala Drop presented their debut album. A handful of EPs and many shows later, they now present II. Naturally it's worth the wait. A unique synthesis of cosmic funk, psychedelic rock and deep dub, the entire album is every bit as immersive as you'd want it to be. From the trembling guitar plucks and frenzied momentum of "Monad" to the far-away cries and synth-slaying textures of "Slow House" via the planet-leaping drum energy and synth soars of "Samba Da Maconha", Gala Drop's distinctive delivery and creativity is showcased with accomplished skill. You won't hear another record like this in a hurry.
