    The explorations of Security aren’t exactly shattering, but they’re refreshing.

    Essential background music, if such a thing exists.

    Seven years on from their first album, Antibalas have developed into an unexpectedly varied, sophisticated band.
  5. Blender

    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 Unfortunately, it's come at the cost of what originally made their music so exciting.

    This is a great album, the musicians are wonderful and the vocals are just right when and how it's needed, every person who loves good This is a great album, the musicians are wonderful and the vocals are just right when and how it's needed, every person who loves good music should listen at least to Filibuster X, Sanctuary, I.C.E. and Age, but really this album has no waste, it's good to know that there are bands in this world aiming to make quality music. Kudos to Antibalas, one of the best bands I've heard in a while… Full Review »
