Denver, Colorado’s Michal Menert is about to blow your mind (once again), and this time it’s with his new 6-piece live band.
Releasing their debut studio LP, the self-titled Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics, Menert and crew take the producer’s jazzy soul hop style to an entirely new level.
Washed in organic timbre and texture, live instrumentation reigns supreme on Menert’s new album, throwing down soulful funk sounds that incite perfect dreams of sunset cadences and sunrise sets.
The lyrically-driven LP expands upon Menert’s spacey soul hop sound, bringing his sound to a new plane with each of the record’s 10 tracks. Showcasing the producer and multi-instrumentalist’s steadfast studio and instrumental skills as well as his vocal talents, check Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics today – they’ve created a seriously impressive piece of work.
Following up the release with a corresponding fall tour, check out the full tour schedule below.
