Electronic afro-funk group Ibibio Sound Machine have announced the forthcoming EP, The Black Notes, alongside the release of its title track.
Ibibio Sound Machine say of the EP: “Moments of joy and feeling grateful for the sun on your face. Black Notes & Honey Bee are two sides of a coin - soulful dance and an electronic take on highlife for 2024. Captain Planet’s funky Afro house remix take on Pull the rope and Vanguard’s acid tinged version of Got to Be who u are round out the selection.”
The EP follows the album, Pull the Rope, which was released earlier this year.
Tracklist:
- Black Notes
- Honey Bee
- Pull The Rope (Captain Planet Remix)
- Got To Be Who U Are (Vanguard Remix)
