Genome

This Chicago-based combo fuses funk, jazz, psychedelia, and electronic music to create a unique sound that is at once all of the above and none of the above. A blend of acoustic and electronic instruments, these guys reference everything from DJ and rave culture to world music. It’s not all out-of-this-world record collector paradise, though — they’ve even been known to put their own spin on pop hits like Blondie’s “Rapture.”
