Review: Fort Knox Five – Pressurize The Cabin

D.C.’s Fort Knox Five have returned after scouring the earth with pep in their step. Their album Pressurize The Cabin is well-produced, and its sound has a light airiness to it. Each song has its own rhythm, ranging from ’90s-era Latin hip-hop grooves to sitar melodies to Celia Cruz–esque dance tones—all built upon a base of continual funk trumpets, trombones and other brass instruments. The collaboration blends well together, and the funky grooves pave large avenues in the mind for summer. –Barnabas
