Apex of funkiness

Ready for some chilled out funk!? 
Hm. How DOES one prepare for that?


Facebook has done it again and managed to recommend me something awesome!
I've never heard of Spiral System before today, but I'm so glad I did. Their second album, "Be" is out later on this month and the above track "N'other" is taken from it.
The track begins with garbled electronics and tribal drums, joined by a keyboard stab and guitar twang. Suddenly some big fat ol' drums break in and the song starts to flow and your head starts to nod along. It's chill, mellow but also sounds big and groovy. Then that jazz/funk keyboard joins in and the song reaches an apex of funkiness. It's not something to dance around to, more like something to sit and listen to and go "Oh, hell yeah!"

Soundtrack to: If Toejam and Earl were made today.
