Vulfpeck (previously) was "conceived...as a German version of the Funk Brothers – session musicians who performed most of the instrumentals on the 1960s Motown records [previously]. The idea was to channel that era of the live rhythm section."
On August 26th Vulfpeck released their fourth record, Fugue State (other three: Mit Peck, Vollmilch, My First Car).
Vocalist Antwaun Stanley tells the story in 1612.

The "previously" is tltiled "Imagine the Ramones led by John Cage and managed by Andy Warhol" - so, the Velvet Underground then?

Thanks for the post, and man do I LOVE these guys since I heard them on an episode of WeFunk Radio (which probably deserves a post of its own when I can get to it) a few years back.
I also love how they leave interesting studio background noise in the back of some of their tracks. This is an extreme example but there's a lot more subtle ones...

Listened to some of the other tracks linked, though, and was glad to find that actual drums are in use. These guys are performing a noble public service, and I commend them.
