Click on the Images Out to LunchExcuse Me While I Do The Boogaloo [Accurate Records] Out to Lunch frontman David Levy leads a crack ensemble that features stellar keyboard playing from Eric Lane, who stands out on every song he solos in. What starts out as a James Brown-influenced funk outfit takes interesting turns into breakbeat grooves that touch on jazz, house, dub reggae, Latin and beyond. OTL’s use of Ableton Live allows them to stretch their organic improvisations into new territory, as does the addition of a full horn section. From the straight-ahead groove of “The Good Doctor” through the acid-trip soundtrack of “Maudlin’s Eleven,” OTL’s accessible grooves will keep your brain and booty equally engaged. Though you may be hard-pressed to define OTL’s music, each subsequent listen will make it even harder to pigeonhole. A funky thumbs up to OTL’s original and extraordinary debut. |
