Ibibio Sound Machine - "Let's Dance" (Yak Inek Unek)


This is the latest single from recent Soundway Records signees Ibibio Sound Machine. They’re a UK-based outfit fronted by British-Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, and their sound is a melt of vintage electro, disco, and various shades of African music. It all comes together really tastefully, too. “Let’s Dance” in particular features a driving beat, rigid synths, and vocals that sway between eccentric and enjoyable awkward. The additional horns are a great touch as well.

Not sure exactly when this band’s next record is supposed to drop, but I’m officially looking forward to it as of right now!

What do you think?
