Another Taste return with ‘Another Taste II’, doubling down on their analogue approach with a collection of groove-led cuts.
Recorded live to tape, the album leans into warmth and immediacy from the outset. There’s a looseness to the sound that feels intentional, capturing the energy of a band that’s spent the last few years building a reputation across clubs and festivals alike.
Where their debut introduced the palette, this second outing feels more refined. The arrangements are tighter, the songwriting sharper and the overall sound more immersive. Across the eight tracks, Another Taste move between low-slung funk, synth-driven boogie and disco-leaning grooves, all held together by a strong sense of musical identity.
The live instrumentation is key throughout. Basslines roll, brass sections punch through the mix and the rhythm section keeps everything locked in, giving the record a natural flow that feels equally suited to home listening and early evening sets. Moments like “Peace Call”, featuring Arp Frique and the Perpetual Singers, add extra depth, bringing a richer, more expansive feel to the album.
Final thoughts
Another Taste II is a confident step forward.
Warm, groove-heavy and rooted in live performance, it’s a record that values feel over polish and lets the music breathe.
