XLR8R

The five dudes who make up future-funk trailblazing outfit Galactic hail from New Orleans, but one listen to their sixth album, From the Corner to the Block, and you wouldn't need us to tell you that. The Louisiana city echoes throughout this release, flavoring the brassy horns, Mardi Gras anthems, and, not to mention, in the numerous guest appearances by the city's local heroes.
