About
'Music is a universal language, but spoken language can help you think about what makes you emotional, what makes you feel certain feelings, what you want to see in the world', says frontwoman Eno Williams. On 'Doko Mien', Williams uses both English and Nigerian languages, somehow producing a world of both entrancing specificity and comforting universality, a language entirely of their own.

The group’s music pulls its grooves from the rich pool of dance music history, with the sashaying spirit of disco infecting tracks like “She Work Very Hard” and a bit of electro throb cutting through the title track, while also paying homage to more traditional fare like the spare, highlife-inspired “Kuka.”
