» One of the best new bands I came across during my recent trip to the UK was the eight-member, London-based outfit, Ibibio Sound Machine. I picked up the band’s eponymously named debut album, which was released earlier this year on vinyl with an MP3 download included in the package, at Piccadilly Records in Manchester while I was trawling the racks and listening to some of my selections. I was very taken with the single released from the album, Let’s Dance (Yak Inek Unek). Soundway Records, better known for its reissue compilations, is the band’s label.
