-
Seven years on from their first album, Antibalas have developed into an unexpectedly varied, sophisticated band.
-
The band’s fourth album turns down the roiling boil of 2004’s What Is This America? to a seductive simmer.
-
Perhaps the thinking is that a softer, subtler approach will make Antibalas more palatable to a wider audience. Unfortunately, it's come at the cost of what originally made their music so exciting.
-
The explorations of Security aren’t exactly shattering, but they’re refreshing.
-
Essential background music, if such a thing exists.
