    Together, they dig even deeper into the woozy funk rhythms and fuzz-tone electric guitar psychedelia of the band's '70s recordings. It's a vibe they bring to full fruition on "Queenless King," a kinetic, Afro-beat-infused anthem that sounds like it is pumping out of the speakers of a vintage 1970s van.

    Sogolo is the sound of a band still developing and exploring, and that they’re still making such vital and interesting music at this point can only be saluted.

    This may be the best album of their 50-plus years together. Bonkers, yes, but quite brilliant. [Jul 2025, p.84]

    Its heady and timeless distillation of dub gospel, disco excursions, molten psych rock and soulful swagger sounds more like back to the future. [Jul 2025, p.37]

    Their latest, Sogolo, shows the revamped band in punchy form.

    The original players have deservedly mellowed with age, allowing a restrained Afrobeat groove to play a larger role in their sound; yet SOGOLO proves they still have a few tricks up their sleeve, while pleasantly rolling along.

    As a whole, ‘Sogolo’ stands as a less cohesive package than 2023’s ‘Zango’, but it’s a braver, more energetic, and forward-thinking LP.
