1. SO FILTHY\u200b<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have this band, Vulfpeck<\/a>, which is so filthy. My lead singer is the shit — a Lebanese kid from Detroit who sings some Yiddish. And my drummer grew up next door to Aretha in Bloomfield Hills. He\u2019s the shit plus one. My bass player has a following in Norway.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re on fire. We play at temples and Jewish arts festivals throughout the country, but we aren\u2019t locked into the J bag. We\u2019re in discussion with a major label, but I\u2019m skeptical. The label says we\u2019re \u201ctoo Jewish.\u201d We\u2019re not too Jewish. We\u2019re too filthy!<\/p>\n

\n2. \u200bMUSIC DREAMS\u200b<\/p>\n

I hear animal voices, particularly cats and fleas. Significant to my music?\u00a0 Yes. \u200bA coffee table book, Hope You Like My Music!\u200b<\/em>,\u200b has more than 100 photos of professional musicians. Some tied up, some with instruments in odd places. I\u2019m in a bathtub with clarinet reeds, like Moses.<\/p>\n

3. OUR ESTHETIC\u200b<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I admire musicians who, when you first hear their recordings, you know exactly who is playing. Like you say, \u201cHey, that\u2019s Arnie!\u201d because you hear the snorting hogs in the background, which is always Arnie’s thing.<\/p>\n

Vulfpeck’s latest tune is “Gas.” It stresses colors and dynamics. One guy belches whole notes. Doesn\u2019t feel forced either.
