It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Vulfpeck just announced their 2016 studio release The Beautiful Game. The suave funk quartet has set up a Kickstarter for the album, which will be the band’s 6th studio release and perhaps their most anticipated record yet. The band’s success has totally sky-rocketed over the past year since their Thrill of the Arts LP, so for new fans of Vulf, the October 17th release can’t come soon enough.

The Vulf Records release will feature a ton of new guests, including debuts from Laura Mace, Bethanni Grecynski, Jamire Williams, Michael Winogrand, Pegasus Warning, Adam Levy, and Rich Hinman. “This album’s ‘Billy Preston’,” they add, is guitarist Cory Wong. The Beautiful Game will also feature some of our favorite returning guests: keyboardist Joey Dosik from “Game Winner”, “Back Pocket” vocal contributor Christine Hucal, and of course, the “Funky Duck” himself, Antwaun Stanley.

In the below video, the band occupies their studio space with Stanley with a never-before-heard song about baseball high school teams. We can’t wait to find out more about this album!
