Brain Boogie is the fresh new album from the Nils Landgren Funk Unit sideman Andy Pfeiler, his fifth solo flight to this date. Lyrically a political statement but also a tribute to the funk. Andy Pfeiler manages to reinvent himself with a sound leaning towards contemporary R & B and with a distinct live-in-the-studio feel. And he always does it with a twist. A little something for your mind as well as your feet, as the title implies. Gnarling synth bass lines, popping guitars and drums, atmospheric samples and soulful vocals make Brain Boogie into something quite unique in today’s musical landscape. The Stockholm based guitarist and vocalist is one of Sweden’s most sought after live- and studio session musicians, so finding time for his own projects can sometimes be tricky. - I decided to be a bit more dogmatic when recording this album. On my previous records there have been quite a bit of different people playing. Horns, multiple layers of keyboards, guitars and backing vocals and so on. So, this time I wanted to limit myself by only using two more musicians beside myself. A funk power trio. The exception is the song Space Xpress, where my daughter Astrid is the fourth musician, singing the choruses together with me. I also forced myself not to add too many extra sounds in the process. Guitar, bass and drums were recorded live in the studio in one take and vocals and a bit of electronics and samples were added afterwards.
