Album Review of "Cook" by Lettuce (7/10)

Lettuce Records

Producer: Lettuce

For renowned jam band Lettuce, perpetual groove has always been the essential ingredient, and that remains the case with Cook. Each track bumps and grinds with mouth-watering aplomb, and some soar past the heavens toward unmapped locales. Though mostly instrumental, several cuts incorporate savory vocals, such as the retro-tinged “Rising to the Top.” There’s no telling what walls this sextet could topple by stretching out, but who cares when every beat tastes this good?
