Sealed 2010 Original. “After Two Well-Received Full-Lengths And An EP, Staten Island's Budos Band Return With III In 2010. The Group's First Two Recordings Walked A Loose Tightrope Line Between The Modern Jazzed-Up Afro-Beat Sound Of Antibalas And The Soulful Good-Time Funk Groove Of Sugarman 3. It's Also True That While They Fit The Daptone Label's Groove-Centric Aesthetic, III Reveals A New Direction, Offering The View That They Are Also Something Other. This 11-Song Set, Recorded In 48 Hours, Offers A Darker, More Spacious Tinge. Elements Of Psychedelic, Middle Eastern, And Even Latin Sounds Have Entered Their Mix, Without Sacrificing Their Dance Party Cachet.” – Thom Jurek, AMG
