Reminds me also of the Yugoslavian 70s sound. A fusion of jazz/funk/soul/pop/big band.

In previous life, was in Judge’s Chambers with Judge wheeler. Dad of Tim Wheeler of Ash fame. They were in 2nd album New York Sonic Youth Heroin chic stage. He had NME front cover on desk. Discussing a car accident but ignoring his son’s emaciated picture looking up at us
