DOWNLOAD: Antibalas - I.C.E. (MP3)

Antibalas Security"In advance of its imminent Anti- debut and extensive eight week U.S. tour, Antibalas – the socially-diverse and politically-minded New York collective – is drawing rave reviews for the John (Tortoise, Stereolab, Tom Ze) McEntire-produced Security. In celebration of the album's March 6th release date, Antibalas' dozen-strong line-up revs up to entertain the people once again. Beginning with what promises to be an electric hometown show at Brooklyn's Warsaw on March 10th, the band will then hit SXSW for a series of concerts, followed by record release galas at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall and the Troubador in Los Angeles."

Can't you see the racism in that album cover?

It's clear as day!

I've got a (leaked) copy of their new album. Its pretty great, they are really taking Afrobeat to a new place on some of the songs. Love the hip-hop drums on the first track. The biggest problem is that the energy wanes by the end of the album...

omgz that show at Jewish Mother in VA is TOTALLY a revenge show for the Voice cover!

I've got a (leaked) copy of their new album. Its pretty great, they are really taking Afrobeat to some interesting place. Love the hip-hop drums on the first track. The biggest problem is that the energy wanes on some slow jams at the end of the album...Definitely looking forward to the show at Warsaw!

Hi-res version of the cover (assuming the Anti- site allows remote linking): http://media.anti.com/antibalas/security/antibalas.jpg

Note that the flag that is nearest to the viewer is the flag of Iran. Just sayin'.
