You will know nothing

"The Afro-beat/psych-rock collective's sophomore full-length effort, You Will Know Nothing, arrives just one year after Here Lies Man's 2017 eponymous debut, which delivered a muscular blend of lurid Sabbathy funk and hip-shaking cosmic worldbeat. Not much has changed for the Los Angeles-based quartet led by Antibalas and Daktaris guitarist Chico Mann - the grooves are fathoms deep and the vibe is greasy and hot (in a good way) -- but there are some more progressive elements at play this time around".

"Drawing on the clave rhythmic theory underpinning Afrobeat, Cuban jazz and salsa, the multi-instrumentalist duo of Marcos Garcia (long-time staple of Brooklyn collective Antibalas) and Geoff Mann (son of world music pioneer Herbie) bravely balance leaden Black Sabbath-like riffs with flighty Fela Kuti beats, driven to almost rhythmic overload via extreme conga action. If bludgeoning standouts "Animal Noises", "Summon Fire" and "Hell" sound like enhanced takes from some lost African psych-rock compilation, HLM offset the filthy turbo riffage with moody atmospherics and surprise left-turns".
