Album Notes & Community Reviews
For their fourth studio album, the London-based collective teamed up with the synth-pop group Hot Chip, who handled production duties. The collaboration infuses their traditional Nigerian afrobeat and highlife foundation with thick, 1980s-inspired analog synthesizers, resulting in a vibrant, highly infectious dance record.
