Kabeaushé once described their music as "the complete opposite" of the hardcore leftfield electronic sounds of their then labelmates on Nyege Nyege Tapes. And at the time that was true: the Kenyan polymath's sound on their debut album The Coming of Gaze was fiercely and single-mindedly focused towards giddy pop rush, old school party hip hop upfulness, clean sounds, gentleness, bounciness, positivity and joy. Now, though, the lines are not quite so clear. On their new material for Monkeytown, a little more rawness, weirdness and rave energy seems to have soaked in. On Hold On To Deer Life, There's A Blcak Boy Behind You, you can hear the drive and energy in every atom of the sound and lyrics of the record. This is music forged through fearless opposition to adversity, negativity and hate, and it is electric with determination to shine ever brighter and brighter, in performance as in life. This is a talent of global proportions coming to maturity, and you'd better be ready for it to explode out into the world.
