Greetings fellow Sorry State newsletter readers! As always I hope everyone has had a great week and has been listening to and checking out some new music! I mean, it is why we are here reading this thing right? Not sure if it is clear that I have a love for anything King Gizzard related. This week’s pick is in the King Gizzard universe and is one of my favorite solo albums from one of the band’s members. This record I think has been highly anticipated for a couple of years now. It is Cavs, a project led by the drummer from King Gizzard, and their second full length album Sojourn. It has been a long 5 years since his first, self-titled solo album. Cavs' new album Sojourn is such a huge step forward and you can hear the growth and skill change that has happened for the last 5 years. His improvement is something I've been picking up on with every King Gizzard release, but this solo album showcases all of Cavs' ability to place some really groovy out of pocket spiritual jazz with amazing grooves and fills. This record blew my mind the first time hearing it. Makes me really excited for some new King Gizzard; I hope they make another jazz album in the future. The players on the album are not King Gizzard related, but man did he pick some amazing artists to play on this record with him. The flute combined with the bass grooves and Cavs drumming just seems like they were all on another planet while recording this album. If you like world music, spiritual jazz and funky bass lines, this is a record for you hands down. I know this might be a hot take, but I would recommend this record over anything that King Gizzard has done so far. It is that good. So take a chance and pick it up. We have also been listing tons more metal CDs almost everyday! Until next week take it easy!
