Quickly following up their acclaimed debut "The Basta" the LA duo Rainbow Arabia released "Kabukimono" this year. More varied in color and tone, Kabukimono finds the group expanding on the template laid down with their debut "The Basta" equally inspired by Sublime Frequencies comps, Factory Records, Congotronics adding many new tropical, African, and Eastern flourishes to their latest material. Co-produced by Pit Er Pat's Butchy Fuego the 7 track mini-album features 5 new recordings and two remixes from Brenmar (Bill Salas from These Are Powers) and the future bass, electro-crunked out stylings of SF's Ghosts On Tape.

"Someone really liked Gang Gang Dance's last album. Oh, us. Which is why we like this Rainbow Arabia track from their forthcoming Kabukimono, with it's ice synths, desert hand drums and oud-ish guitar." The FADER
