Description
Chopping Mountain, the new record by Ibibio Sound Machine - out September 11, 2026 - is the clearest rendering yet of the London collective's longstanding mission to promote love, unity, and resistance through music. It is the band's sixth full-length record, and the first to feature the band's Max Grunhard as producer since 2019's Doko Mien. Following their Hot Chip-produced breakthrough Electricity (2022) and the darker, clubbier inflection of the Ross Orton-produced Pull the Rope (2024), Chopping Mountain feels like it was pulled directly from the hearts and experiences of the Eno Williams and Grunhard-led band.
