The Way It Is [FLAC Download]

Over their 10 year tenure as a band, The Funky Knuckles have developed an increasingly unique voice. Their fifth album “The Way it Is” takes new risks that demonstrate a surprising amount of trust between musicians. The exhilarating recklessness of the improvisations exhibit a level of collaboration that could only come from years of performance and friendship. With every band member contributing original material, The Funky Knuckles is a collective, in the truest sense of the word.

After spending most of 2020-2021 in a damp cave, the band felt a deep yearning to make the weirdest album humanly possible. Even with the help of 372 gophers and 3 manatees, the recording took at least 2 hours to complete. It is also the first album ever to be recorded entirely onto analog blocks of cheese.

The album pairs well with: Hulk Hogan, Shrimp Cocktail, Neck Tattoos
Doesn’t mix with: Macho Man Randy Savage, Waiting on Hold, Lactose Intolerance.
