About this product

Electricity is the fourth and most progressive album from Ibibio Sound Machine, and like all good Afrofuturist stories, it begins with an existential crisis. InchIt's darker than anything we've done previously,Inch says Eno Williams, the group's singer. InchThat's because it grew out of the turbulence of the past year. It inhabits an edgier world.Inch Electricity was produced by the Grammy Award- and Mercury Prize-nominated British synthpop group Hot Chip, a collaboration born out of mutual admiration watching each other on festival stages, as well as a shared love of Francis Bebey and Giorgio Moroder. The fruits of their labor reveal a gleaming, supercharged, Afrofuturist blinder. Electricity is the first album Ibibio Sound Machine have made with external producers since the group's formation in London in 2013 by Williams and saxophonist Max Grunhard. True, 2017's Uyai featured mixdown guests including Dan Leavers, aka Danalogue, the keyboard jedi in future-jazz trio The Comet Is Coming, but Hot Chip and Ibibio Sound Machine worked together more deeply throughout the process, collaborating fully. Along the way, the team conjured a kaleidoscope of delights that include resonances of Jonzun Crew, Grace Jones, William Onyeabor, Tom Tom Club, Kae Tempest, Keith LeBlanc, The J.B.'s, Jon Hassell's InchFourth World,Inch and Bootsy Collins. Album Tracks 1. Protection from Evil 2. Electricity 3. Casio (Yak Nda Nda) 4. Afo Ken Doko Mien 5. All That You Want 6. Wanna See Your Face Again 7. 17 18 19 8. Truth No Lie 9. Oyoyo 10. Something We'll Remember 11. Almost Flying 12. Freedom

Music is a universal language, but spoken language can help you think about what makes you emotional, what makes you feel certain feelings, what you want to see in the world,Inch says Eno Williams, frontwoman of Ibibio Sound Machine. When Williams uses both English and Ibibio-the Nigerian language from which her band's name is derived-on Doko Mien, the group somehow produces a world of both entrancing specificity and comforting universality, a language entirely of their own. In a glowing piece in the New York Times, the songs on their debut album Uyai were praised for following in the tradition of much African music, [making] themselves the conscience of a community.Inch By pulsing the mystic shapes of Williams' lines through further inventive, glittering collages of genre on Doko Mien, Ibibio Sound Machine crack apart the horizon separating cultures, between nature and technology, between joy and pain, between tradition and future. Album Tracks 1. I Need You to Be Sweet Like Sugar (Nnge Nte Suka) 2. Wanna Come Down 3. Tell Me (Doko Mien) 4. I Know That You're Thinking About Me 5. I Will Run 6. Just Go Forward (Ka I So) 7. She Work Very Hard 8. Nyak Mien 9. Kuka 10. Guess We Found a Way

2014 from the London-based band. Fronted by British/Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, Disco, Post-Punk and Psychedelic Electro Soul. A unique sound born out of the mixed up nature of London today, Ibibio Sound Machine was started by producers Max Grunhard, Leon Brichard and Benji Bouton. After first tracking all the bass and drum tracks they joined up with Ghanaian guitar legend Alfred 'Kari' Bannerman (from fellow Soundway signing Konkoma), before adding Brazilian Anselmo Netto on percussion and synth/horn men Tony Hayden and Scott Baylis to Eno Williams' lyrics. A dose of Electronica with a forward-looking, refreshingly un-retro approach that's influenced by London as much as by West Africa, give the vocals and guitar lines space to breathe without being overwhelmed. Album Tracks 1. Voice of the Bird (Uyio Inuen) 2. I'm Running (Nya Fehe) 3. The Talking Fish (Asem Usem Iyak) 4. Let's Dance (Yak Inek Unek) 5. Uwa the Peacock (Eki Ko Inuen Uwa) 6. The Tortoise (Nsaha Edem Ikit) 7. Woman of Substance (Awuwan Itiaba) 8. Prodigal Son (Ayen Ake Feheke) 9. Got to Move, Got to Get Out! (Ana Nkpong Ana Nwuoro) 10. Ibibio Spiritual
