Olugbenga has traded in his bass guitar for a trendy new press shot and an unlocked version of Ableton on his new side project. The Metronomy bassist's debut EP is an entirely fretless affair, filled with streamlined electronica and bitchslap bass drum. We're really excited about it, it's one of the most adventurous electronic records we've heard in ages. We've got an exclusive VIP version of the first single “Hafiza” which features Joshua Idehen from Benin City's half-spoken half-rapped drawl atop Olugbenga's original.
Hafiza [INNOCENCE] is out today both on 12" vinyl and digitally via Pictures Music. Get it here.
