Our Take

KOUYATE-NEERMAN's latest offering, "Skyscrapers & Deities," is a dizzying blend of Afrobeat, jazz, and electronica that takes listeners on a wild musical journey. The duo, comprised of guitarist Lionel Loueke and drummer Lukas König, may not be a household name yet, but after listening to this album, you'll be wondering why that is.

From the opening track "City of Bones," with its hypnotic guitar riffs and pulsating drums, to the ethereal "Desert Moon," where Loueke's vocals float effortlessly over König's complex rhythms, every song on this album is a treat for the ears. The standout track, however, has to be "Neon Ghosts," a frenetic fusion of sounds that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped into a futuristic nightclub.

But it's not just the music that makes "Skyscrapers & Deities" so special – it's also the duo's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with different styles. Tracks like "Siren's Call" and "Lost in Translation" showcase their fearless approach to blending genres, resulting in a sound that is uniquely their own.

Overall, KOUYATE-NEERMAN's "Skyscrapers & Deities" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. With its infectious rhythms, innovative production, and captivating melodies, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. Don't sleep on this dynamic duo – they're definitely ones to watch in the world of music.
