Tussle’s new album is creamy

Tussle, an electronic jam band from San Francisco, recently released their current album, “Cream Cuts.” The album consists purely of beats and strategically placed instrumental cameos. Without any words or lyrics, the emphasis is totally on sound.

The vibe is low-key, perfect for a lounge type setting or background party music, but do not expect it to make you want to dance. There are some interesting tracks, for example “Transparent C,” that make you think you have stumbled upon a hidden musical treasure.

The uncomplicated rhythms get to be a little repetitive in tracks like “Meh-teh,” making you wish you could grab some drumsticks and take the song where it should go.

Overall, the album is worth a listen, especially if you are looking to broaden your musical horizons. Another song with potential: “Night of the Hunter.”
