{"product_id":"the-budos-band-the-budos-band-iii","title":"The Budos Band - The Budos Band III","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Budos Band's third album is a 2010 slab of dark, heavy instrumental soul, and this pressing comes with a digital download card so the grooves can follow you out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Staten Island crew had already earned a fierce reputation on Daptone Records with their blend of Afro-soul, Ethiopian jazz and gritty funk. On The Budos Band III they push the sound into moodier territory, letting fuzzed-out guitar, deep organ and a punchy horn section build atmospheres that feel closer to a vintage thriller soundtrack than a dance party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Rite of the Ancients\" opens with a menacing, slow-marching groove and horns that seem to rise out of the fog. \"Black Venom\" bites down hard with a coiled bassline and stabbing brass, while \"Unbroken, Unshaven\" rolls in with a cocky, loose-limbed swing. \"Golden Dunes\" stretches out into a hazy, desert-tinged trance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe percussion is relentless throughout, with congas and drums locking together into a sound that feels both vintage and strangely heavy, as if a 1970s soul revue had wandered into a doom metal rehearsal and decided to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a single word sung, this record says plenty. It's a dark horse treasure for any shelf that already holds Afrobeat, library funk or Daptone's finest, and it was built to be played loud and late at night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761813881122,"sku":"823134002012","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/The_Budos_Band-The_Budos_Band_III.jpg?v=1794309643","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/the-budos-band-the-budos-band-iii","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
