Tank and the Bangas share new LP ‘Floating’

Deluxe Edition of Grammy-nominated album ‘Red Balloon’ out now as well

Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

Three-time GRAMMY-nominated and critically acclaimed band Tank and The Bangas have released a new LP, Floating.

Floating continues the electric sonic world of their Grammy-nominated sophomore album, Red Balloon. Available on magenta vinyl, the record was pressed exclusively for RSD Black Friday 2023.

The band recently released the deluxe edition of Red Balloon. This edition formally adds six previously-only-released-as singles to the album, which are also included as their RSD ‘Black Friday’ LP track listing. Listen to the new songs HERE

‘TODO COLORE’ by Ibrahim Maalouf Featuring Cimafunk & Tank And The Bangas received a 2024 Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Performance. This marks the band’s third Grammy nomination, following Best New Artist in 2020 and Best Progressive R&B Album in 2022.

Critical praise for Tank and the Bangas:

“The range of Tank and a band is just simply wonderful. They deserve all the accolades and more for this release.”—NPRMusic

“[A] bangin’ third studio album.”—Variety

“Soul is more than a one-track monolith, as heard with Tank and The Bangas’ Red Balloon. The jazzy, funk-influenced, soothing elements of this LP leave one ready to reflect and bask in the various takeaways revealed throughout.”—Vibe
