Ibibio Sound Machine – Electricity – Black and Yellow Splatter Color Vinyl

Description

Hot Chip, a Grammy Award and Mercury Prize-nominated British synthpop group, produced Ibibio Sound Machine’s fourth and most progressive album, Electricity. The collaboration was sparked by mutual admiration and a shared love of Francis Bebey and Giorgio Moroder, which led to a supercharged, Afrofuturist blinder. This is the first album Ibibio Sound Machine has made with external producers since their formation in London in 2013 by vocalist Eno Williams and saxophonist Max Grunhard. The album includes influences from Jonzun Crew, Grace Jones, William Onyeabor, Tom Tom Club, Kae Tempest, Keith LeBlanc, The J.B.’s, Jon Hassell’s “Fourth World,” and Bootsy Collins, resulting in a kaleidoscope of musical delights.
