    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.

    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.

    An aural pool party for anyone who digs the nu-Baleric compilations of Psychemagik and Too Slow To Disco.

    These squelchy tunes pack much summer sunshine, and even kitsch jungle noises on the title track. But the long-range outlook is a little more mixed.

    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]

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

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

    The whole thing comes across as a bit of a mish- mash, a bit cobbled together. It’s an album all too reliant on the guest singers to give the songs identity.

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