Two years after releasing the "Frontier's Edge" EP, The Budos Band are returning with their first full-length since 2020's "Long In The Tooth". Titled simply "VII", the new album sees them doing what they do best: laying down hypnotic, horn-spiked grooves that menace and mesmerize in equal measure.

Produced by Budos guitarist Tom Brenneck with Simon Guzmán engineering, "VII" features 11 tightly constructed new tracks that draw on the group's wide range of influences, sounding like only the Budos can. It's music for getting down, for nighttime drives, and for alternate headspaces - a beguiling mix of mystery and rhythm that stands with the formidable work they've released in their two decades of recording. It's also the group's first album to include instrumental contributions from percussionist Rich Tarrana, who previously played in the Frightnrs.

All told, it succeeds in opening up some new sonic spaces while staying tethered to the intuitive, unique musicality that made them such a sensation from the jump.
