On double vinyl, The Deplar Effect marks The New Mastersounds' 17th album—recorded at Floki Studios in Iceland's Troll Peninsula, where isolation and stunning landscapes produced what critics called their finest work. Billboard Contemporary Jazz charted it at #15, with Lamar Williams Jr. (son of the late Allman Brothers bassist) contributing vocals that expanded their instrumental focus while maintaining the Meters-inspired grooves that define their sound. Peak New Mastersounds, recorded at the edge of the world.

The Leeds-born quartet ventured to Iceland for creative reset after pandemic shutdown, discovering that the snow-capped mountains and rugged isolation had an "effect" that inspired the album's title. "Watchu Want" pays tribute to the Meters, as is tradition on every NMS opener, while Williams adds Southern soul vocals to tracks like "Gonna Get In My Way" and "Let Me In From The Cold." The double LP format gives these compositions room to breathe across four sides, with the vinyl warmth matching Iceland's stark beauty.
