Five-time Grammy-winners Snarky Puppy are back with a new album in collaboration with The Metropole Orkest. Somni is the first original album from Snarky Puppy since their 2023 Grammy-winning album Empire Central and features 9 tracks.
While Sylva looked outward, painting cinematic portraits of the natural world, Somni turns inward to the intangible realm of dreams. The title comes from the Catalan word for “dream,” reflecting League’s life in Barcelona.
He began composing the material in rural Japan, where he spent a month alone in an Airbnb. “I just kind of gave myself a month to write,” he recalls. “It was in the middle of nowhere … completely alone.” Those sketches, shaped by introspection and stillness, were later developed with the full Snarky Puppy lineup — now featuring four drummers — and the 50-plus-member Metropole Orkest. “It’s about diving into a bunch of different elements of this thing that we do every day,” League says, “that nobody understands.”
