Finally found the new sound
I have been a fan of DMB for the past decade. Like many people, I love them for their early work, particularly Under the Table and Dreaming, Before These Crowded Streets and Crash. It was a coincidence of the spirit of the times, a young and joyful band, and their loose, improvisational style. There is no way to go back to that. Their past three albums (Everyday, Busted Stuff, Stand Up) have been a noticeable dip in the 'magic' they had (though their live act has remained excellent). Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King seems to be a climb back into a new space of musical creation. It feels as though the death of Leroi Moore has given them the spiritual resources to bring into focus the more rock'n'roll/funk style that they have been experimenting with since Everyday.While I do not like this style as much as their early work, it is obviously a genuine development for the band, and it is good to see them produce a record of substantial quality again. BW & GGK is permeated by a spirit of mournful joy, of bereavement and celebration of memories, and the band plays with energy and conviction. Standout tracks for me are 'Shake Me Like a Monkey', with it's infectious beat, 'Spaceman' as a classic Dave sleazy love ballad, and 'You & Me', with it's bright pop sensibility.
Also these products are selling well.
