Avant-garde cosmic sounds from Senegal, Wau Wau Collectif's InchYaral Sa DoomInch is a groundbreaking album spanning borders and musical scenes. Inspired from West African tradition, Sufi praise songs, spiritual jazz, and dub rhythms, the effect is a genre defying entry in outernational sound. Hypnotic percussion loops across sweeping pads, call and response chants echoes layer over electronic beats, and children's voices sing out to recordings of crashing waves.

The album contains nine tracks, most of which come from the Great American Songbook, but in their own arrangements that emphasize the trio's personal style.
