Mungion is quickly rising the ranks of the jam scene. Despite being a relatively new act—the group formed in spring of 2015—the group has earned enormous buzz with their high-octane live performances and dynamic compositions. On Friday, the band has followed up to their first-ever official live release, Live Fun Vol. 1, which was released back in May, with the release of their sophomore studio album, Ferris Wheel’s Day Off.
Ferris Wheel’s Day Off finds the quartet—comprised of Justin Reckamp (guitar/vocals), Joe Re (keyboards/vocals), Sean Carolan (bass/vocals), and Matt Kellen (drums/vocals)—joined by a rotating cast of musicians, including a full horn section. The album was produced by the band’s good friend, Ben Factor, and showcases the group’s stellar sense of humor and explosive improvisations.
As Reckamp shared in a statement back in mid-August,
We have spent the last ~15 months grinding away in different cities, studios, and apartments are very proud of the way the whole thing turned out. … There’s a little something for everybody here – some tracks are funky, others heavy. Often times, multiple genres are represented inside one tune; that’s the essence of what we do, and the records’ diversity is something we are very proud of.
The album is available now on digital formats as well as on CD and vinyl LP. You can listen to it for yourself below. The group also recently kicked off an extensive fall tour, which will see the group supporting The Motet and Aqueous. For more information, head to Mungion’s website here.
