Pull the Rope, the latest album from Ibibio Sound Machine, shifts the band’s vibrant sound from sunny festivals to sweaty, late-night dancefloors. Co-created by Eno Williams and Max Grunhard with producer Ross Orton, the album was built in a more streamlined, collaborative process, resulting in a sleek fusion of house, post-punk, funk, Afrobeat, and disco. Driven by themes of unity, resilience, and joy amid darkness, Pull the Rope delivers a powerful, danceable message of hope for a better world.
