West Philadelphia Orchestra brings the party to the streets on “Pole Grease”
Brass band dance party staples West Philadelphia Orchestra are back in the mode of releasing new music this fall, which is a treat given the band’s rigorous performing schedule — both the collective, and as individuals branching off of the collective.
Thankfully, WPO has found time to write and record new jams, and their second single drop in as many months has a Philly-as-can-be title: “Pole Grease.” With swift rhythms and a tapestry of horn melodies, the song is a multi-layered hybrid of styles. As the band writes: it’s “a little bit Balkan, a little bit Brazilian, even a little klezmer, but it’s undoubtedly Philly.”
Crank it up in the player below, and bookmark it for when the Eagles make it into the post-season.
