It’s challenging to contain the hazy mood and effervescent energy that Slightly Stoopid evokes in their live shows on a studio album. Still, each effort from the Southern California band comes as close as possible to bringing those performances into succinct recorded tracks (and even closer on their numerous live albums). Everyday Life, Everyday People , the group’s ninth album in two decades, adheres  to the essence of those onstage moments, particularly on grooving numbers like “If You Want It,” which features Alborosie, and “Too Late.” This release follows 2015’s successful Meanwhile… Back at the Lab , and it’s clear that the musicians have tapped into real inspiration here. “Higher Now” is a particular standout, with fast-talking lines from rapper Chali 2na and a soaring chorus that asserts that “music sets us free.” The song has a swaggering guitar solo, reggae horns and hooks that feel almost pop-like, solidifying the sort of genre fusion that Slightly Stoopid has always done well. G. Love appears on “Everyday People,” a propulsive, bluesy rock tune that surges with an undercurrent of live energy. “Talk Too Much,” featuring revered Jamaican singer Don Carlos, emphasizes the sunny reggae vibes the band has always loved, as does “Livin’ in Babylon,” which uses the vocal stylings of Yellowman. There’s a palpable feelgood nature to this album as a whole, which comes through especially on these reggae-inclined tunes. The best moment arrives on “No One Stops Us Now,” a vibrant, upbeat song that allows the musicians to emphatically claim their style and intent. And at this point, it’s true: No one is going to stop them now.
