Our Take

ANTIBALAS, the kings of Afrobeat revival, are back with their latest groove-infused offering "Where The Gods Are In Peace." This album is a sonic journey that will make you want to shake your hips and nod your head in rhythmic approval.

From the moment the opening track "Gold Rush" kicks in, you are transported to a world where funky bass lines and brass sections reign supreme. The band's signature blend of African rhythms and socially conscious lyrics make for a compelling listen that is both danceable and thought-provoking.

Tracks like "Hook & Crook" and "Tombstown" showcase ANTIBALAS' ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. The infectious energy of these songs will have you reaching for your dancing shoes and moving to the beat without a care in the world.

The album's standout moment comes in the form of the epic closer "The Secret Movement of Plants." Clocking in at over 15 minutes, this sprawling track encapsulates everything that ANTIBALAS is about - musical experimentation, cultural exploration, and a whole lot of groove.

Overall, "Where The Gods Are In Peace" is a testament to ANTIBALAS' continued relevance in the world of Afrobeat. With this album, they prove once again that they are not just a band, but a musical force to be reckoned with. Get ready to lose yourself in the infectious rhythms of ANTIBALAS - where the gods are indeed in peace.
