Swiss band The Next Movement continues to amaze us with their boundless artistry and groovy sound. Led by mastermind singer-drummer J.J. Flueck, accompanied by Pascal “P” Kaeser on bass and synth, and guitar-virtuoso Sam Siegenthaler. Despite being a trio, their synergy is so impeccable that their sound fills the room like a quintet or even a sextet. The sheer amount of energy and groove they unleash is awe-inspiring, and combined with their spotless production and proficient performance, they once again prove their musical prowess on their new single “More Cowbell.”
The band’s new single introduces us to a fiery funk fusion band that refuses to slow down. After a quick trip back in time with a Saturday Night Live reference, the band launches into a sterling example of modern funk. “More Cowbell” explodes out of the speakers at blistering speeds, changing the room’s atmosphere with spellbinding melodies and danceable grooves. The trio’s chemistry comes in all shapes and sizes on this single. The loose, unpredictable melodies still feel honed, creating an inviting yet complex environment for the listener to get lost in. When you think you’ve danced to your last groove, The Next Movement changes things with an infectious yet simplistic tone shift that leaves the listener wanting more. “More Cowbell” introduces The Next Movement as modern funk provocateurs who employ nuanced syncopation that gives their music an extra splash of risk that pays off beautifully.
