We Like It Here is the fifth studio album by American jazz fusion band Snarky Puppy, recorded in 2013 and released in 2014. The album was recorded at Ballroom Masonic in New Orleans, Louisiana, capturing live performances and subsequent studio sessions that reflected the band's collaborative approach to composition and arrangement. The recording was helmed by the band's leader Michael League along with engineer/producer Marc Structured, who worked to capture the ensemble's intricate interplay and layered instrumentation across multiple sessions. The album features Snarky Puppy's signature blend of jazz fusion, funk, and world music influences, with emphasis on sophisticated harmonic arrangements and tight ensemble playing. We Like It Here was notable for its organic, multi-tracked approach that allowed the band to overdub and layer performances while maintaining the feel of live ensemble interaction.
