Clarity of Cal by VulfpeckLike wafts of fresh-cut grass on the wings of spring, Vulfpeck’s Clarity of Cal arrives with a refreshing gust of groove, shaking off the last bits of seasonal pollen.

This album is a sonic bouquet — a vibrant mix of funk, soul and playful energy that blossoms with each passing note. Recorded live during their California shows in September 2024, this isn’t just an album; it’s an invitation to step outside, stretch toward the sun and boogie down with rhythmic revival.

With their signature blend of effortless tightness and laid-back charm, Vulfpeck crafts a soundscape that feels like spring itself — bursting with color, buzzing with life and just unpredictable enough to keep things interesting. Tracks like “Big Dipper” invite you to sink into the groove, while “New Beastly” revives a classic with fresh energy, its basslines rippling like the first waves on the lake.

The velvety vocals, ever-buoyant basslines and crisp interplay of the band create an atmosphere where every song feels like the perfect soundtrack to a sunlit adventure. Whether you’re cruising with the top down, swaying on a back porch or cracking open a window or refreshing beverage to usher in the spring vibes, Clarity of Cal delivers a warmth that lingers. Break out the flip-flops, turn up the volume and let its rhythm of renewal take over.
