New Orleans funk powerhouse Dumpstaphunk has announced their new album Where Do We Go From Here, set to release on April 23, 2021 (via Mascot Label Group / The Funk Garage). The release marks the band’s first full-length album in seven years, and undeniably the most powerful and politically pointed of their career. Previously released singles include “Justice 2020,” recently called one of the “Best Songs of 2020” by the New York Times, and the contemplative title-track “Where Do We Go From Here.” The record is a sharply relevant statement, even more-so than the group anticipated during writing and recording sessions just prior to the unprecedented events of the last year.
In celebration of the announcement, Dumpstaphunk will perform songs from the upcoming album on NPR’s World Café today (1/11), along with an exclusive interview with band leader Ivan Neville. Fans can tune in worldwide on their local NPR station or on-line.
Dumpstaphunk released the album’s title track “Where Do We Go From Here” in August 2020, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Check it ou below…
