about

"It's about 2,700 miles from Seattle to New Orleans, but if you don't have the gas and the time to drive there, take a shortcut and give the new SpiceRack album a spin instead. Steeped in the sound of instrumental funk icons The Meters, crossed with extended solos, psychedelic flavors, and the more, groove-based experimentalist strains of the jam band scene, SpiceRack's debut album features 11 intricately tasty originals penned by guitarist Tristan Gianola.
Ranging from the good-time funkiness of album opener "Keep Your Hands Off My Stash," to the more angular modalities of "Carved Into Stone" and the anthemic space-rock vibes on "Dem Stars Look Good (They Make Me feel Nice)," the band displays a broad range of slinky grooves, inspired soloing and confidently locked-down group interplay.
The recording has a wonderfully airy and open live sound to it, giving the instruments room to breathe, and conveys the sense that SpiceRack are no doubt a potent performing unit. We can always use a little funky heat up here in Seattle, and So Hip It HURTS nimbly provides the spark."
