About
The Comet is Coming returns with their second full length album. King Shabaka, Danalogue, and Betamax's effort finds the Mercury Prize-nominated trio creating a musical landscape that is equally cerebral as it is physically enthralling. While containing elements of jazz throughout, this release leans further into heavy dance-hall themes, providing hypnotic, electronic soundscapes to dance to while keeping you intellectually stimulated.

It’s muscular stuff, a clarion call for energetic, overwhelming music designed to be played as loudly as possible. Leavers is the driving force, commanding a plethora of buzzy synths, string washes, and wispy vocal effects to give the sound ingenuity and depth.
