the afro-jazz flow of NOMO...
If you have been following this year's output from Ubiquity Records, then I don't need to tell you that it's been another banner year for them so far. Ann Arbor, Michigan's NOMO is included in their superior roster, releasing the Invisible Cities album back in May. Almost a year after their Ghost Rock album and recorded during those same sessions, NOMO carves a path through jazz, afrobeat, rock, and electronica. Large enough to be a jam band, their discipline gives them the flexibility to be tight yet loose. They can wail with the best of them and remain open to those moments of improvisation where magical things happen.
It's a world party whenever NOMO is on the scene, as evidenced by this live performance in the KEXP studios shortly after Invisible Cities dropped. Dig the title track below...
