electro-funk

During the 2000s and early 2010s, some punk funk bands such as Out Hud and Mongolian MonkFish performed in the indie rock scene. Indie band Rilo Kiley, in keeping with their tendency to explore a variety of rockish styles, incorporated funk into their song “The Moneymaker” on the album Under the Blacklight. Prince, with his later albums, gave a rebirth to the funk sound with songs like “The Everlasting Now”, “Musicology”, “Ol’ Skool Company”, and “Black Sweat”. Particle, for instance, is part of a scene which combined the elements of digital music made with computers, synthesizers, and samples with analog instruments, sounds, and improvisational and compositional elements of funk.
