About this product
Pioneers of Kinshasa's sonic revolution, Kokoko! Have captivated global audiences with their striking sonics and energetic performances since 2017. Their accolades include best live band award by AIF, NPR Tiny Desk and Boiler Room slots, appearances at festivals including All Points East, SXSW, Green Man and Pitchfork Festival, and a placement on the Grand Theft Auto and FIFA soundtracks. Their critically acclaimed debut album Fongola achieved global praise, with DJ Mag labelling it Inchquite unlike anything else you'll hearInch, while The Guardian called the group a Inchcommanding new voiceInch. The Congolese city of Kinshasa's after-dark buzz was the inspiration behind their sophomore album, BUTU, which means 'the night' in Lingala, and the experimental record dives deep into the heart of the chaotic place, celebrating the joyful and creative spirit of it's inhabitants. With vocalist Makara Bianko at the helm and production from Xavier Thomas, AKA Débruit, this follow-up to Fongola finds the group channelling a more electronic, upbeat sound. BUTU is a replication of the frenetic feel of that dynamic nightlife - equipment being pushed to it's limit, via saturated and distorted speakers, or the sonic push and pull of sounds after dark.

Vinyl LP pressing of this 2024 EP. Conceptualized as a project to hold fans over until their forthcoming second studio album due next year, 'Get The Message' is a 4-track opus that positions the band in a more introspective and meditative space. Eschewing the brassy and exuberant sound of their previous work, the new EP notably beholds more of a minimalist slant. Gentler in mood, 'Get The Message' finds the band experimenting with new sonic territories via modes of psychedelic soul, Afro-rock, dub and funk. Sonically taking cues from the likes of Solange, Blood Orange, Sun Ra, Cymande and the 1970s Nigerian psych-rock band Ofege.

![The Bad Plus - Inevitable Western - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/06521d1c-2313-4c4a-9fef-060bcb75747d.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
2014 , The Bad Plus' 10th studio recording and first collection of original material since 2012. INEVITABLE WESTERN continues the leaderless trio's committed belief in what they've dubbed avant-garde populism' the idea that serious music can be as engaging and accessible as it is forward-thinking and provocative. The album sees the group exploring the same set of aesthetic principles that fired their inception, a rigorous exploration of myriad musical forms born of Jazz but advanced using any sonic source material that forwards their own indefinable thing. The past 15 years have seen the genre-smashing band creating a distinctive and original repertoire of inventive and exciting original music, along with a series of iconoclastic covers of such divergent artists as Nirvana and Neil Young, Aphex Twin and Ornette Coleman.
