NOMO To Release New Album Ghost Rock On June 17th

On Tuesday, June 17th, the jazz-funk-afrobeat band NOMO will be releasing their new album titled Ghost Rock, the follow-up album on Ubiquity Records to 1996's New Tones.

Taken from the official press release: "The album sheds light on the way forward for a band that has been forging its own vital sound. This is not the Afrobeat of Fela, nor the revivalist Funk of a forgotten decade. This record owes as much to Can, Eno, and MIA as it does Kuti, Francis Bebey, and Funkadelic. On Ghost Rock, NOMO arrives in a new place. There’s no loss of steam as they incorporate new influences, instead NOMO breaks through with a matured and developed sound that is fully its own."
