Kokoroko- Get The Message

Label: Brownswood

Released 2025

Vinyl LP pressing of this 2024 EP. Conceptualized as a project to hold fans over until their forthcoming second studio album due next year, 'Get The Message' is a 4-track opus that positions the band in a more introspective and meditative space. Eschewing the brassy and exuberant sound of their previous work, the new EP notably beholds more of a minimalist slant. Gentler in mood, 'Get The Message' finds the band experimenting with new sonic territories via modes of psychedelic soul, Afro-rock, dub and funk. Sonically taking cues from the likes of Solange, Blood Orange, Sun Ra, Cymande and the 1970s Nigerian psych-rock band Ofege.
