Vula Viel - What's Not Enough About That - CD

Following the acclaimed release of 'Do Not Be Afraid' and a busy tour that took them from UK to Europe and back, including a stellar performance at Womad captured by BBC Radio 3, Vula Viel return with a new album that breaks new ground as Bex Burch (gyil), Ruth Goller (bass) and Jim Hart (drums) continue their sonic explorations around the gyil, the wooden xylophone of the Dagaare from Upper West Ghana, and to forge their own unique fusions. While 'Do Not Be Afraid' developed ideas around disciplined 'rhythm wheels', rhythm patterns in regular cycles set to the band's angular instrumentation, the new tracks stretch out the band's sound, at times delicate and at others moving into raw post punk soundscapes. 'What's Not Enough About That' marks another major step in the evolution of Vula Viel.
