Nabuma Rubberband

Electronic Soul/ Indie pop / Electro pop. Swedish band. Fourth full studio release. For those who listen to previous albums, it sounds more like their first two, and less like Ritual Union because it lacks the moving dance/strut beats of songs like ritual union and shuffle a dream. This album is more mellow, sparse, and spacey. RIYL: SBTRKT, Sylvan Esso, Blood Orange, Royksopp & Robyn. FCC Clean
