Description
Black Market Brass is proud to presentHox, on Colemine Records. Their third LP is a new take on afrobeat that combines traditional grooves with heavy, hypnotic, sci-fi sounds that reflect the bands myriad of influences as record collectors across genres. We didnt leave the traditional afrobeat sound behind, but we did allow ourselves to pull from different places with less hesitation. Shared saxophonist Cole Pulice.
Like their previous albums, the 9-piece band recordedHoxlive to tape. The sound and aesthetic of the analog recording process is important for this kind of music, Pulice explained. Were looking to capture lightning in a bottle. With that, the album features several sections of heavily processed synthesizers, harsh glitches, fuzzedout guitars, and a burning percussion section that pays homage to the traditional drumming cultures of Nigeria and Ghana. The performances are dynamic and confident. The grooves are infectious and hypnotic. BMB has pushed further into musical experimentalism, but at the end of the day, theyre still making dance music.
Krautrock, free-jazz, doom metal the inspirations forHoxstem from all kinds of musical backgrounds, but the sound is far from scattered. Its a polished, innovative record thats sure to exceed expectations and keep the listener engaged from start to finish.
For Fans Of… The Budos Band, Antibalas, The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, Ikebe Shakedown, Menahan Street Band, El Michels Affair, Khruangbin.
