Electric Cowbell has been releasing 45rpm vinyl records out of Brooklyn, New York since the summer of 2010. 101 Things To Do In Bongolia is a compilation CD that documents the label’s first batch of singles plus includes remixes and bonus tracks. This release captures the funky and eclectic all inclusive genre-bending that help define the label making 101 Things To Do In Bongolia a kind of mix-tape love letter from Brooklyn.
This album is filled with rare gems that are finally getting exposed to the world outside of the vinyl-only realm. The sounds are completely fresh with a lot of odd elements that make for an interesting listen but also yield funky grooves for the dance floor.
“Another genre and mind expanding release from Electric Cowbell, who are truly documenting pretty much whatever they feel worthwhile. Like Feeding Tube Records, or Harding Street Assembly Lab, these are goldmines of underground music that would never make it to vinyl, let alone any form of release whatsoever.” - 7 Inches
- Stuart Bogie (Antibalas, Iron and Wine) & his group Superhuman Happiness showcases the talents of his cohorts from Antibalas and recordings from Dave Sitek’s now defunct Stay Gold studios in Brooklyn where T.V On The Radio’s sound was forged.
- Truth and Soul Records (Amy Winehouse, Lee Fields, Aloe Blacc) production team Clay Holley and Jeff Dynamite team up with New York’s only active boogaloo band Spanglish Fly for the track “Let My People Bugalú”.
- Lovers of the infamous Ethiopiques series from the Buda label of France will rejoice in Boston’s Debo Band as they deliver their take on the bass-driven rhythms and exotic funk of 60’s & 70’s-era Ethiopia.
- Guitarist of seminal punk legends Black Flag and co-founder of SST Records, Greg Ginn clocks in with his first single in years that gets a mash-up by electronic eccentric ENE.
- Sierra Leone-born Sahr Ngaujah star and lead of the hit Broadway musical based on the life of Fela Kuti Fela! teams up with Superhuman Happiness and is featured on 2 tracks on this album: “String Theory” and “Gravity.”
