I stumbled on this LP a few weeks back at my local record shop in Long Beach, and was delightfully surprised! These dudes are very young, all 22 and younger, based out of Amsterdam. Check out this video, which pretty much sums them up better than I can. If you love afrobeat music, this record, which is, in essence, a one-take studio session, will make you bug out. I’ve been reccomending this to everyone I know. Enjoy!
