Jack Stratton delivers every time. Does every Vulf album contain Jack Stratton? Yes. Are some of them a little more Jack than Vulf? Hard to tell. What I can tell is that this is a great album. A little quirky but altogether smooth grooves. Like all the Vulf Albums this has a tendency to draw you into the studio space. There is a presence to these albums that soundtracks your life or transports you. This is an amazing example of how Vulf can capture artsy and abstract absurdity while also coming across digestable.

I don't think these tracks depart much from usual Vulf styling. But, I maintain that isn't a bad thing. They use it in different ways to show the versatility of the space. Each album coming out with a different feeling. This album starts out catchy and comical with "I Can't Party." A song that will refuse to leave your ears or the back of your mind. "Bonnie Wait" comes in a low and steady groove, but not before being tempered and introduced by "Ucla." "Harpeji I" shows up with a proper 'stank face' level of groove. Jack's dialogue about James Jamerson is a fun break filled with the kind of thing musicians and artists like to say that may or may not be intelligible to anyone. "Lord Will Make A Way" breaks into the gospel funk chops that Antuan Stanley seems so suited to. "Nice To You" is a big and ridiculous track to keep everything grooving. Very in your face with real A+ organ vibes. We take a brief step in the moody "Blue" for an experience gorgeous in all ways before ending off on the banger track that is "How Much Do You Love Me."

The variance within consistency is always going to be the Vulf familiy's strength. It is as varied as the many members and strengths they hold. A track held down by Jack will be much different from one held down by Theo or Antuan. Yet there is a collaborative agreement in the end results. None of the songs feel out of place on this album. Such is the strength of transformative diversity in music when it comes together. The broad and varied discography of Vulf records continues to excite.
