Pax Volumi by Youngblood Brass Band

Pax Volumi (2013), sees the band partnering with Tru Thoughts, the Brighton UK label that includes a roster ranging from deep soul (Alice Russell) to hip-hop (Ty) to straight-up New Orleans brass band (Hot 8), and the pairing couldn’t be more apt. The album captures the live intensity of the stage and explodes with beats and rhymes that bang right out of your speakers. It’s almost as if YBB spent the last 15 years getting ready to become THIS Youngblood Brass Band; as though everything in the past had led up to the creation of an album that defies classification, an album that couldn’t be made by any other group.
