Electricity

by Ibibio Sound Machine

supported by

tinnitusradio I was having a lack of excitement listening to music but this got me back to enjoyment and dancing. Thank you. 💕 Favorite track: Protection From Evil.

xpatofthemind Because it protects me from evil. But also, because every amazing review you have heard is exactly right on and it's even better than that. I haven't gone, "What is that sound?" as much since I first heard some of St. Vincent's guitar work. Favorite track: Protection From Evil.

ojdo Vibrant like Chromeo, classic like Morodor, yet distinctly different, this is a disco album like no other. With every track exploring different flavours, it's especially hard to pick a favorite. Favorite track: Something We'll Remember.

about

Ibibio Sound Machine UK

Fronted by London-born Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine is a clash of African and electronic elements inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk, disco, and modern post-punk and electro. Evocative Nigerian poetic imagery set against an edgy Afro-Electro soundscape gives the band a unique space within the wave of modern Afrocentric sounds sweeping the globe. ... more

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
