Genre-bending bass musicians Sub Swara put out one of 2008’s most exciting albums with Coup d’Yah. Now they’re returning with their sophomore LP Triggers and are offering a free download of its first single “Bend You.”
Out on Low Motion Records, Triggers hits stores on November 9th. The album is said to include traces of dub step, hip-hop and “sounds yet to be classified” to create a dancefloor-like energy. Triggers also features collaborations with Dead Prez Lyrics Born, Kendra Foster of Parliament Funkadelic, Freddie Mills, Antibalas and a host of “master session musicians from around the world.”
Check out “Bend You,” the first single from Triggers, below!
The band has also made strides in its live show, moving away from its typical DJ set toward a more performance-oriented concert that includes live drumming and improvised sequences throughout the show. And, since the band is touring extensively behind Triggers, you have a good chance of catching them live.
