Ghost Rock is
the new album from the Michigan-based collective NOMO. The album sheds
light on the way forward for a band that has been forging its own vital
sound. This is not the Afrobeat of Fela, nor the revivalist Funk of a
forgotten decade. This record owes as much to Can, Eno, and MIA as it
does Kuti, Francis Bebey, and Funkadelic. On Ghost Rock, NOMO arrives
in a new place. There’s no loss of steam as they incorporate new
influences, instead NOMO breaks through with a matured and developed
sound that is fully its own.
