Star Kitchen has released a new single, titled “Punches.” The song features Snarky Puppy and Ghost-Note’s Nate Werth on percussion, as well as Star Kitchen’s personnel of Marc Brownstein on bass, Danny Mayer on guitar, Rob Marscher on keys and Marlon Lewis on drums.

The track was recorded on early February of 2020. According the press materials for the single, the band was snowed in a Color Red Studios in Denver, Colo. “The song represents both the relaxed nature of the studio with the haste of the world about to be flipped upside down for the rest of the year,” read the press release.

“The vibe in the basement at Color Red & being snowed in. Things being a little messed up with Marc’s eye being injured and the general f’d up nature of 2020,” read a statement from the band. “COVID-19 was already popping up in the news at that point. Once we started jamming it became pretty apparent that, with our backgrounds and interests in hip-hop, reggae, jam rock and electronic music, we would have a pretty easy time creating in that space!”
