At first glance, it seems a bit presumptuous to name your band Cure for the Common—to claim that your group is the solution to the musical malady that is the boring, the everyday, the uninspired. Yet this Montana-based outfit is doing their damnedest to live up to their name. Their third studio album, The Squeeze, finds the CFTC guys fully immersed in their self-described “electro-thunder funk” as they explore a deep well of genres and influences, using every bit of their six-piece-plus-horns configuration. While the album starts off with a couple of straightforward, riff-driven funk tunes, all bets are off when the prog-synth-rock “Digital Blackout” comes into the picture. Then there’s the Kendrick-Lamar-channeling, rapid-fire rap in the otherwise breezy title track, and the reggae beat R&B of “Let’s Ride.” Not that the band can’t decide on one style—they’d just prefer not to.
