While Brooklyn Afrobeat traditionalists Antibalas certainly aren't mere Fela Kuti imitators, they've always hewed fairly closely to the legendary Nigerian musician's aesthetic blueprint. SECURITY (2007), however, finds the band expanding its musical palette without losing any of its political fire (see the blunt anti-G.O.P. workout "Filibuster X"). Producer John McEntire (Tortoise) handles production duties and adds weight and atmosphere to the band's urgent sound. And, while Antibalas still rely on classic Afrobeat instrumentation, they also throw in some previously untapped left-field synthesizer sounds (see I.C.E.), as well as more complex song structures. All of this would be for naught, though, if the key element of the Antibalas experience weren't still firmly in place; thankfully, the band continues to work that righteous groove, one capable of whipping anyone into a revolutionary frenzy.
