Neon Soul by Muddy What?
Neon Soul – where roots and neon meet
With their new studio album, Muddy What? open a sonic space where deep roots and modern energy find a shared pulse.
Over 46 minutes, the album takes listeners on a musical journey full of movement, variety, and dynamics: driving grooves that push forward, songs with storytelling depth, and moments that leave room to breathe.
The majority of Neon Soul consists of original compositions, in which the band confidently showcases their unmistakable signature and artistic maturity.
In classic Muddy What? fashion, a few carefully chosen cover versions are also included – reimagined, uniquely interpreted, and infused with the playful spirit that makes the band’s live shows so thrilling and unmistakable.
Each track on the sixth album by the award-winning New Blues band led by the charismatic siblings Ina and Fabian Spang has its own personality, opens doors to new sounds, and invites the listener on a rich musical journey.
Neon Soul sounds confident, distinctive, and forward-looking. Blues here is not a quotation, but a living language – rooted, open, and present.
An album for anyone who wants to feel blues as alive and vital, not frozen in tradition.
