Music
...the beats we drop are dirty,
but you're feeling funky fresh...
("Auras" from the album Favorite Dream)
Luma Knotty's third release Favorite Dream maintains the band's reggae roots while delving deeper into funk and rock, including elements of hip-hop and R&B. The infectious horn lines elevate the band's raw energy, giving their sound a powerful, yet polished aura. The 11-song album includes songs recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Patrick at The Luma Lab Recording Studio in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Ryan Patrick (guitar/vocals), Luis on Keys (keyboards), Steve Scott (drums), Nick Rodello (bass/vocals), and Neji Khang (saxophone), with special guest appearances by Cujo the Poet on "The Shore" and David Jerabek (Fox Menagerie, Copper Box, The Presidents) on "How Did it Come to This?". The album was released September 25, 2024 and is available on all streaming platforms.
