The New Orleans based Galactic dropped their 10th album this week, Carnivale Electricos hit stores yesterday and it's already receiving great reviews. Of course, it's Galactic!! One of my favorite bands to see live without a doubt. They do such a great job of transfering all the energy of their live shows to the studio so it doesn't surprise me that this is being hailed as a party album. Not only did they release the album on Fat Tuesday, one of the biggest party days of the year, but they also peppered the tracks with some Mardi Gras flavor. You'll hear alot of Brazilian and Portuguese influences, which the band says came from just listening to alot of Brazilian music at the time they were recording. From what I've listened to so far it's a solid album. If you're already a fan of the band then Carnivale Electricos won't disappoint.
