Look-Ka Py Py, The Meters' second album, was also released in 1969, just a few months after their debut. The band continued to refine their signature funk sound, leveraging the chemistry they had developed as session musicians. Recorded again at Cosimo Recording Studio with production by Toussaint and Sehorn, the album solidified their reputation in the New Orleans funk scene.
The album features a more polished but equally energetic funk, with an emphasis on danceable grooves and syncopated rhythms. Notable tracks include the instrumental 'Look-Ka Py Py', which became another hit, and 'Funky Miracle', showcasing the band's ability to blend funk with soul. The interplay between Porter's bass and Modeliste's drums is particularly striking.
Look-Ka Py Py is considered one of the best funk albums of the era, and has been a key influence for generations of musicians. Its sound has been widely sampled in hip-hop and electronic music, and the album remains a favorite among collectors and funk enthusiasts. The song 'Look-Ka Py Py' is an anthem of instrumental funk.
