Exploring the music of Ibibio Sound Machine

On the show this time, it’s the inclusionary joy of London’s Ibibio Sound Machine. Their latest album, ‘Electricity,’ is available on Merge Records.

This 8-member multicultural band put out their latest album ‘Electricity’ in March of 2022. Blending elements of West African funk and electro-post-punk, it was produced by saxophonist Max Grunhard in collaboration with Hot Chip. The record highlights singer Eno Williams' adamant vocals, and expands the band's sound - it’s all bangers, ready for the club. This performance features the first 4 songs from the album, though in a different order.

Recorded 09/29/2022.

1. Electricity
2. 17 - 18 - 19
3. Protection from Evil
4. All That You Want
