Thank You Very Quickly

Extra Golden's "Thank You Very Quickly" is a whirlwind of East African rhythms and American rock that will have you questioning whether you need two passports just to listen. The album kicks off with the energetic track "Jakolando" which sets the tone for the rest of the record - you won't be able to sit still, even if you're stuck in traffic on the M25. The collaboration between Kenyan and American musicians creates a unique sound that is both familiar and foreign at the same time. Tracks like "Gimakiny Akia" and "Sara Sara" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and cultures, creating a musical melting pot that is as spicy as a Tikka Masala. The driving force behind Extra Golden is the interplay between the guitars of Opiyo Bilongo and Ian Eagleson, whose riffs dance around each other like an elaborate game of Twister. The rhythm section, comprised of Onyango Wuod Omari and Ian Eagleson, keep things steady and groovy, ensuring that you'll be tapping your foot from start to finish. Overall, "Thank You Very Quickly" is a sonic rollercoaster that will leave you feeling exhilarated and slightly disoriented - a bit like a night out in Camden. So grab your pint of ale, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to thank Extra Golden for a musical journey that is anything but ordinary. Cheers!
