    Ibifornia is a lush, exotic album with star-studded collabs which sounds as inspired by the jungle as it is by the dancefloor.

    Ibifornia comes with enough funk and cool from guest vocalist Cat Power that it could be the spiritual sequel to the Tom Tom Club's debut album, plus all the faux exotica, busy soundscapes, and chugging basslines suggest the Swiss duo Yello.

    Ibifornia features slightly too many faceless party-friendly dance-pop bangers. [Aug 2016, p.73]

    It's the lesser-spotted Mike D and Chan Marshall aka cat Power who snag this troublesomely titled fourth album's crowning moment. [Jul 2016, p.92]

    The title envisages a blend of Ibiza and California: dancefloor funky pop merges into balmy, sunshine-soaked grooves, although at times the band seem to be feeling the effects of that long gap.

    Standouts struggle to hold their own amid the album's more overwrought anthems and straight-up misfires.

    This album unfortunately lacks the depth of both the Mediterranean and the Pacific.
