Maybe you’ve run into them shedding at a New York subway stop.

Brass band Lucky Chops recently issued its self-titled debut album, and “Traveler,” a cut off the record premieres below.

Founded in 2006 after bandmembers met as students at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, they’ve merged the brass-band tradition with a contemporary understanding of dance and funk musics, while tipping in blustery horn arrangements and solo spots.
