 great new album from these guys... December 8, 2008
Joseph Broze (chicago)
...that mixes everything that other reviewers have mentioned (afropop, krautrock) but manages to do so in a relatively concise, catchy manner. I am not sure - yet - if I like this as much as the last LP, "New Tones," but I like it alot.
If you liked that last album, or their hard-to-find first LP, definitely pick this up. Their sound has gotten a bit more varied but that is by no means a bad thing.
Recommended for fans of Talking Heads, David Byrne, Fela Kuti, Animal Collective, Panda Bear, etc, etc.

I heard the interview on NPR and was excited about the group. I bought the CD and it was odd rather than exciting.
 Tightening up the loose ends June 22, 2008

NOMO's previous effort, the brilliant New Tones, relishes in a swaggering "live" shuffle of acoustic percussion, tape-bleed, shimmying horns and lugubrious tempos. This time around, the band tightens up those loose ends, harnessing the rhythms into edited sequences, boosting the tempos, injecting more Funk into the mix and largely eschews the Balinese gamelan-like feel in favor of electric mbiras. Compare and contrast aside, how is it? The prominent horn section is still spot-on and a bit more mature, showcasing virtuosity across the disc, but the draw of this band, that which gives their music a unique, compelling and immediately gratifying personality, has always been the organic, raw nature - the occasional stray note and all. Perhaps these are live jams translated in the studio, but the dancier (more East African than Carl Craig), more mechanical nature is something fans will need to acclimate to. Not worse, not better: just different. Let it stew for a bit.
A giant leap forward ... June 20, 2008

An amazing step forward for NOMO. More edge and a bit more electronics that makes Ghost Rock sit right in between greats like Miles Davis, Can, Eno and M.I.A. - Yea, it's that good. Check this out!
