Booka Brass Band Announce Debut Album

After numerous sold-out headline shows and star-studded collaborations, Booka Brass are releasing their much-anticipated debut album.

Chilled Milk is a ten-track album full of the band's signature melodies and rhythmic pizazz. The album is made up of nine self-penned tunes and a raucous cover of Jason Derulo’s 'Talk Dirty' by the New Orleans inspired outfit.

In late 2012 the group of students were drawn together by their classical background and desire to experiment musically. Since then their trajectory has been constantly on the rise, from the success of their critically acclaimed debut EP BBB, a sold-out nationwide tour and live performances with some of Irish music heavyweights including The Frames, Lisa Hannigan, Jape and James Vincent McMorrow.

The album has drawn influence from jazz greats like Miles Davis and Art Blakey, to hip-hop icons Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar. The albums sound is a fusion of Booka Brass’s classical mastery of their instruments combined with their understanding and passion for jazz sensibilities. From melody based tracks like 'Make That Do Noise', 'Astrocyte' to groove based tracks like title track 'Chilled Milk' and 'Trip The Switch', the album is filled with contrasting styles.
