专辑简介

Produced by Jim DeVito (Donavon Frankenreiter/ Mofro) and Jody Gray, "One Less Sound" draws more heavily on their South African and Malian influences, the record drenched in island-swaying rhythms and Afro-flecked guitar melodies, and littered with hip-shaking funk-jazz grooves and tight multi-horn arrangements. Studio cuts of better-known THA tracks like the slow-groove bounce of "Love Foundation" and breezier "Sun King" are interspersed with newer numbers like the uplifting, anthemic "Someday I'm Going Away." The band's use of instruments like the 21-string Kora and lyre-like Nyatiti adds to the album's worldly flavor, and take center stage on the LP's vocal-free tracks.
