EGOLI Africa Express

The ever-changing, Damon Albarn backed, collective Africa Express returns for album number five. This time the lineup features stars you know in Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys, Grime MC Ghetts, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner along with cutting-edge African artists on the cusp of a global breakthrough. Taking just a week to turn loose jams and new creative relationships into a cohesive album, the collective have struck gold on this latest release. Perhaps thanks to its recording in Johannesburg, where Kwaito and Gqom dance music has been making small global ripples over the past few years, ‘EGOLI’ features a thread of solid Dance throughout. Ripe with ideas, the largely loop based music is the perfect foil for its diverse cast.
