Exclusive Premiere: ‘Conversations With The Motet’ Part Five

Colorado funk act The Motet will release Totem, a new studio album produced by Eric Krasno (Lettuce/Soulive) this Friday, July 8. Earlier this month, the band launched a new video series dubbed Conversations With The Motet in conjunction with Punching Mule featuring members of the band discussing their instruments, musical influences and the new LP.

The fifth installment of Conversations With The Motet finds one of the group’s longtime keyboardist Joey Porter discussing the genesis of LP’s first single “Damn!,” his instrumental technique and how his rhythmic approach makes people dance.
