For fans of: Afro-Electro Dance Music

What they're saying: Saby Reyes-Kulkarni from Bandcamp Daily nicely summarizes the Ibibio Sound Machine vibe: “With its rousing combination of disco, Afrobeat-influenced horns, Ghanaian guitar, Brazilian percussion, PlayStation sound effects, and nursery rhyme-like folktales in frontwoman Eno Williams’s native Ibibio language, the London-based octet has steadily perfected a unique fusion that blurs the lines between genres, continents, and time periods.” Pitchfork’s Brian Howe calls Electricity a “cosmopolitan blend of West African funk and electronic bass music.” And more high praise from Pop Matters’ Adriane Pontecorvo: “Electricity thrills from start to finish, yet another well-crafted work from a band that continually shows itself to be unbound by categories of space, time, and genre. This is past, present, and future funk all rolled into one and ready for a fantastic time.”

What we say: Super fun record! Fuses West African rhythms with futuristic electro-pop sounds. Hot Chip guy produces too.
