Eschewing the brassy and exuberant sound of their previous work, the new EP notably beholds more of a minimalist slant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGentler in mood, ‘Get The Message’ finds the band experimenting with new sonic territories via modes of psychedelic soul, Afro-rock, dub and funk. Sonically taking cues from the likes of Solange, Blood Orange, Sun Ra, Cymande and the 1970s Nigerian psych-rock band Ofege.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarking on the band’s musical growth and evolution the last few years, Onome Edgeworth, the band’s percussionist said: “Our tastes are richer and more developed. We’re now creating from a completely different viewpoint and it's been quite freeing”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated under the guise of functioning as an intentional vessel for joy, the heart of ‘Get The Message’ is concerned about the need for community, connection and relationships of all forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking further on the humanising motivations behind the EP which was largely borne from its opening track ‘Higher’, the band’s co-founder and trumpeter, Sheila Maurice-Grey said: “That song is a mantra. With the repeated lyrics, we were setting the intention and the tone of what we wanted to do with the EP which is to be a balm for people. Being a voice of hope, comfort in a time where the world isn’t always promoting positive energy, unity and togetherness”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kokoroko-vinyl-records\"\u003eKokoroko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brownswood Recordings\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kokoroko+Higher\"\u003eHigher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kokoroko+Sweeter+Than\"\u003eSweeter Than\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kokoroko+My+Prayer\"\u003eMy Prayer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kokoroko+Three+Piece+Suit\"\u003eThree Piece Suit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Brownswood Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41918006624321,"sku":"3013406","price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/1000x1000.1280x1280_2.jpg?v=1777788610"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/kokoroko-vinyl-records\/format_lp.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
