le and bend the knee at the same "Temple of Boom". The unified vibe has a rhythm...with purpose and urgency, "Listeners should get something I call Raw Polish." Tack-Fu observed, "Very tight arrangements with some analog grit... with room to respect the groove." (slight pause)
"I want to keep the groove moving forward and utilize the open space. Strategic pauses, breaking down a pattern for example. Silence in certain places can be music too." "Tack-Fu chases a different ghost in the recording studio," explains Grover Beats XL, an active member of the 85 decibel Monks. "Listeners should be ready to get on the 747 and enjoy the friendly skies; with your feet never touching the ground." Phat beats, groovy bass lines, funky instruments and that raw polished sound. Get your ticket to fly with The 85 decibel Monks....without ever touching the ground.
