WMNF announced its Song of the Day selection for November 4, 2026. The station chose the track "Leave Me Alone" by the New York-based collective Ghost Funk Orchestra.
The group was founded in 2016 by Seth Applebaum. Applebaum serves as the multi-instrumentalist and primary creative force behind the project. The band operates out of New York and functions as a musical collective rather than a traditional single-genre act.
The station describes the band's sound as a blend of psychedelic soul, analog grooves, and horn arrangements. This mix includes cinematic spy jazz and psychedelic rock elements. The featured track features a tight rhythm section and vocal harmonies that the station characterizes as hypnotic.
WMNF identifies the group as fitting its independent and grassroots music ethos. The station encourages listeners to add the song to their playlists and to share other underground discoveries. The band maintains an official website at ghostfunkorchestra.com.
The background compilation for the segment was written by Brenda Minton. The selection highlights the band's ability to combine different musical styles into a cohesive groove. The track serves as an introduction to the group's sonic universe for new listeners.
