Ibibio Sound Machine announce new album - listen to "Got to Be Who U Are"
London’s Ibibio Sound Machine have announced Pull the Rope, their fifth album, which will be out May 3 via Merge. After working with Hot Chip on 2022’s Electricity, the group turned to Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A.) who co-produced the album with Ibibio Sound Machine’s Max Grunhard. The band say this album shifts “venues from the sunny buoyancy of a sunlit festival to a sweat-soaked, all-night dance club.”
