After a six year wait, Lisbon-based four-piece Gala Drop are about to release their second album. With their nü-Balearica vibe, the band aren't easily pigeonholed, offering up a sound that easily transcends any singular distinct musical genre. And although previously collaborating with techno mavericks Theo Parrish, Funkadelic and Parliament, the Portuguese collective are now doing their own thing. Their pulsating psychedelic funk at the forefront of the Lisbon scene – one that has been likened to that of Detroit’s own. Since recording the new album, the band have even welcomed a new member, the fabled Jerry The Cat, a Detroit expat known for his John Lee Hooker hook-ups, previously working with the likes of Moodymann and Derrick May. Not only do his propulsive vocals bring a groovier sound to the turntable, it might even be said that they bridge transatlantic scenes.
