By My Side

Coming Home

“ONSTAGE GALACTIC IS A FIRST-RATE FUNK BAND. IN THE STUDIO IT HAS BECOME A PERPETUALLY RECOMBINANT GROUP OF MUSICIANS, PRODUCERS AND CONCEPTUALIZERS, HOOKING UP WITH COLLABORATORS FROM NEW ORLEANS AND FAR BEYOND.”
                   — THE NEW YORK TIMES

“IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE THE INFECTIOUS ENERGY AND THRILL OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY THE NEW ORLEANS BAND GALACTIC.” 
                                                                                        — NPR MUSIC

HAILING FROM NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – GALACTIC HAS BEEN EXPLORING THEIR SEEMINGLY LIMITLESS MUSICAL POSSIBILITIES FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. SINCE THEN, THE BAND HAS CONSISTENTLY PUSHED ARTISTIC BOUNDARIES ON THE ROAD AND IN THE STUDIO, APPROACHING THEIR MUSIC WITH OPEN EARS AND DRAWING INSPIRATION AS MUCH FROM THE SOUNDS BUBBLING UP FROM THEIR CITY’S STREETS AS THEY DO FROM EACH OTHER.

GALACTIS’S NEW RELEASE “INTO THE DEEP” – COMING OUT ON JULY 17TH - FEATURES COLLABORATIONS WITH ARTISTS THEY’VE MADE CONNECTIONS WITH OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS — INCLUDING MACY GRAY, MAVIS STAPLES, JJ GREY, RYAN MONTBLEAU, DAVID SHAW OF THE REVIVALISTS, MAGGIE KOERNER, BRUSHY ONE STRING AND CHARM TAYLOR.

THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM IS “INTO THE DEEP” – FEATURING MACY GRAY.

AVAILABLE 2/22/2019: https://folkways.si.edu/songs-of-our-native-daughters

Songs of Our Native Daughters shines new light on African-American women’s stories of struggle, resistance, and hope. Pulling from and inspired by 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century sources, including slave narratives and early minstrelsy, kindred banjo players Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell reinterpret and create new works from old ones. With unflinching, razor-sharp honesty, they confront sanitized views about America’s history of slavery, racism, and misogyny from a powerful, black female perspective. These songs call on the persistent spirits of the daughters, mothers, and grandmothers who have fought for justice – in large, public ways – only now being recognized, and in countless domestic ways that will most likely never be acknowledged. 52 minutes, 36-page booklet with lyrics. Note: LP versions omit the track "Better Git Yer Learnin."

“An artistic mission to supplant the portrayals of slavery as an abstract, ancient sin with the imaginative, immersive contemplation of its individual human impact and aftermath" - NPR

“A crucial pronouncement in folk music” – Rolling Stone
