Ibibio Sound Machine post title-track of forthcoming Pull The Rope LP

Ibibio Sound Machine share more from their new album.

Ibibio Sound Machine have posted the title-track of their forthcoming Pull The Rope LP.

“The track is about the hope of finding a peaceful way to overcome our differences in the world,” the band said.

The idea of standing at two ends of a rope symbolizes this. We recruited our friends Richmond Kessie & Helen McDonald as well as Eno’s mum to lend a bigger sound to the chorus vocals. Musically it’s a mix of post punk and electronic sounds.

UK tour dates are booked not long after the album’s release on May 3rd, while another run is set to follow during November.
