About Galactic
Drawing upon the vibrant funk, R&B, and jazz traditions of their native New Orleans, Galactic craft jam-based grooves that pay homage to the traditions, while pushing the sonic envelope, incorporating electronic, hip-hop, and global rhythmic textures. Emerging in the mid-'90s, the group built upon the influence of bands like the Meters and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, as well as iconic R&B artists like Maceo Parker and Parliament, a sound they displayed on albums like 1996's Coolin' Off and 2000's Late for the Future. Ever interested in cross-pollinating their sound, they continued to evolve, exploring Brazilian rhythms on 2012's Carnivale Electricos and connecting with contemporaries and elder statesmen alike, including Mavis Staples and Macy Grey, on 2015's Into the Deep. More vocal-centric collaborations also powered 2018's Already Ready Already, 2023's TCHOMPITOULAS, and 2025's Audience with the Queen, the latter a showcase for New Orleans legend Irma Thomas.
