My Thoughts:
Vulfpeck sounds like the ideal version of my life. Relaxed, fun and fresh. Its almost impossible to not feel my blood pressure drop every time I play a Vulfpeck record. It was actually a difficult decision to pick a single record, I ended up going with Thrill of the Arts but really any Vulfpeck record is just as fun a listen. This is a great album for driving.
