If you're not familiar, The Budos Band are a group on Daptone Records that do instrumentals that are a hybrid of afrobeat, soul, funk and jazz, similar to Antibalas. They've got a new album coming up, and this is the first single...

They released an EP last year, as well. Don't miss out on that.

oh cool, will definitely pick that up.

I loved the version of The Beatles' "Day Tripper" they did for a Record Store Day single earlier this year. It was on the b-side to "Money" by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. AWESOME instrumental take on "Day Tripper." That was actually where I discovered them, then I found their first album on vinyl at my local shop and picked it up. Got the 2nd album from emusic.com.

Definitely a nice change of pace! Good stuff.
