Review

Alright, strap in for a wild ride, because Menahan Street Band’s third album, 'The Exciting Sounds of Menahan Street Band,' is a sonic trip back to the groovy days of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. This baby’s dripping with lush, full-bodied instrumentation—think analog heaven with Moog synthesizers, electric pianos, and drum machines that add this epic, Ennio Morricone vibe. The 14 tracks are like soundtracks to forgotten gems from classic flicks and TV shows, drenched in this eerie, pitch-perfect vintage sound.

Critics are eating it up, comparing the vibe to a Tarantino fever dream, thanks to top-notch musicianship and killer songwriting. Sure, not every track hits it out of the park, but the overall journey is cohesive and packs a serious punch of soul and cinematic grandeur. ‘The Exciting Sounds of Menahan Street Band’ doesn’t just pay homage to the past—it reinvents it with a swagger that’s now practically a modern hip-hop staple. It’s a timeless trip worth taking. - Chase
