The fifth full-length from Denver's Analog Son, released in 2024 on Color Red and the band's first proper studio LP since 2018's Funky Mother. Bassist Josh Fairman and guitarist Jordan Linit are back at the helm, but the cast around them has shifted into the upper tier of the modern funk scene — Joe Tatton of The New Mastersounds on keys, Neal Evans (Dopapod) on organ, Nick Gerlach on saxophone, plus Eric "Benny" Bloom of Lettuce and former Orgone vocalist Adryon de León out front on several tracks.
Where Funky Mother leaned hard into Tower of Power-style horn funk, Keep It Coming widens the lens — there's still horn-section muscle, but the album also reaches into disco-funk territory and lands closer to the Whitfield-era Temptations and the lush late-'70s sound of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band on a few cuts.
Cool stuff:
- First Analog Son LP in six years — the long gap between Funky Mother (2018) and Keep It Coming (2024)
- Pressed on green vinyl as a limited edition through Color Red
- Adryon de León (formerly of Orgone) sings lead on the standout disco-funk cut "Insatiable" — one of the album's most-praised vocal performances
- Features Eric "Benny" Bloom of Lettuce on horns, alongside Joe Tatton (New Mastersounds) and Neal Evans (Dopapod) — the lineup reads like a "best of the modern jam-funk circuit" festival bill
- The opener "To The Moon and Back" is built around hard-hitting guitar licks and trumpet solos that nod openly to Tower of Power and The Meters
Spin it for: Denver funk that has graduated from the local Cervantes' shows to a national jam-scene supergroup album, with disco-funk moves the band hadn't tried before.
