Funke’s first album in five years, Reacclimate captures the artist’s deft combination of electronic and acoustic elements, and is “an album of positivity and the unwavering belief that life, society and grief will inevitably improve even if the odds seem against you.” Catch Funke on tour, or miss something special. Great live act, full of energy.
