The Meters

The Meters

Lean, syncopated New Orleans grooves built on interlocking rhythms and scratchy guitar. The definitive masterclass in the art of the pocket.

1969 · Warner Strategic Marketing United Kingdom

A lean, infectious confidence that prioritizes the rhythmic pocket above all else.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the drums and bass lock into a tight, circular loop on Cissy Strut that feels impossible to break.
The scratchy, percussive guitar tone on Sophisticated Cissy that sounds more like a drum than a stringed instrument.
The sudden, explosive energy of the Sing a Simple Song cover where the band proves they can out-groove the originals.
