    Musical sophistication meets the gritty danger of live performance; execution matches ambition with crackling energy and soulful expression.

    Sylva excels in both its subtlest and its most ornate moments, which is a testament to its soundness and ultimately its exceptionalness.

    League has boldly used Orkest’s mix of precision and hipness in an unmistakeably Snarky way.

    Snarky Puppy remains a bizarre and wonderful amoeba all its own.

    Sylva might be Snarky Puppy’s most conceptually complicated album, but it’s easily penetrable as a listen. The album could make more demands and it isn’t as stunning in its individual moments as previous recordings, but those ideas would resist League’s compositional intent.
