Frito Gang - Gotta Keep My People Close (EP)
Togetherness is the answer, so all congregations rejoice & bask in the return of our favorite choir boys, the almighty Frito Gang, back with another batch of great vibes to sunny up these dark days we're all living in one way or another. It's like one big cookout; the breeze is kicking in, the family is all getting along, friends are having a good time, the kiddos are, I don't know, hitting a piñata, that's how hard this batch of beautiful music hits.
The soulfulness is exuberantly popping as ever instantly upon jumping into the title track as the gang invites Reek over to celebrate the simpler things in life like family cause when the dust settles, the family will always be there & family ain't bound to blood, keep your loved ones close cause it can all be over before you know it, we must cherish these little moments we share with one another & disregard anybody who's for the division. The samples on "Roll Out" make this another Frito Gang classic, ensuring that tonight will be a night to remember. It's such a concise because the good times can seem fleeting when you're living them in real-time. It's about living to your own accord, no set destination. Just hit cruise control & sit back, pop your head out the window with the wind at your back.
Every track on here reminds you why you love these guys. Be it their lack of concern for those who aren't on their wavelength, "LIKE THIS" or the tipsy wobbles of "PIPE DOWN" or the prowls of the clubby "BUCKET LIST." It's something for every fan of the gang to revel in, another excellent addition to their ever-growing catalog; feels just like Sunday morning, noon & night.
