The Budos Band – VII (Vinyl LP)

Two decades in, The Budos Band return with VII—their first full-length album since 2020’s Long in the Tooth and a bold continuation of their horn-fueled, groove-heavy legacy. Released via the band’s newly launched Diamond West label, VII delivers 11 tightly constructed tracks that are as hypnotic as they are explosive.

Produced by guitarist Tom Brenneck and engineered by Simon Guzmán, the album blends deep funk, afrobeat, psych rock, and cinematic soul into a sound that’s unmistakably Budos. With the addition of percussionist Rich Tarrana (formerly of The Frightnrs), VII expands their sonic palette while staying true to the raw, intuitive energy that made them a staple of underground instrumental music.

Perfect for nighttime drives, hazy parties, and alternate headspaces, VII is a swaggering, soulful journey that cements The Budos Band's status as masters of modern groove.
