Essential New Music: Group Inerane’s “Marhajan Bianou”
['Magnet Staff']
Magnet Magazine
Group Inerane was part of a wave of bands that reset the defaults for northwest African guitar music a couple decades ago.
That could have been the end of Groyp Inerane’s story, but Marhajan Bianou has just been released to inaugurate Sublime Frequencies’ Archive Series.
Assembled from live tapes made during Group Inerane’s sole European tour in November 2011, it is the best-sounding and most cohesive thing the band produced.
Group Inerane’s other LPs were recorded under rough circumstances in Niger.
Marhajan Bianou presents the same group that made Volume 3, but as a road-tested outfit that had developed a strong rapport.
