I've always loved the earlier 'brassy' sound of Chicago. The band have a new album coming out on July 8th and from what I've pre-listened to, it sounds like they're featuring that brassy feel again more. I especially like the lead song 'Now'. After a few listens, I realised it sounded very Earth Wind & Fire. I now know why - Verdine White plus the EWF horns are guesting on the track.

The idea of them recording it in parts in hotel rooms and assembling it later sounds odd, but I guess that kind of thing isn't too unusual these days, especially as studio sessions can work that way too. I just hope the people in neighbouring rooms didn't mind!
Hope it does well for them!
