Q&A with the deli’s Artist of the Month: Gnarlemagne

Inject some funk into your life with Gnarlemagne’s sophomore release: A Warm and Cozy Volcano. They define themselves as Garage-Soul and count in their influences Otis Redding and Tom Waits. As you can imagine, the vocals shine and really give some soul-power to the album, which was just released November 6th. The diverse instrumentation includes sax, trumpet, trombone, and keys. The ever-present throbbing bass, occasional guitar solo, and lively percussion complete the concoction.

 

the Deli: How did you come up with the title “A Warm and Cozy Volcano?”
 
Mike Effenberger (Keys): It’s not a bad image of what playing the music feels like from within the band.  Lots of explosions, periods of calm followed by geological trauma, but pretty comfortable. Click here to read the rest of the interview with Gnarlemagne
