Marking a foray into new territory for ESL, the Ancient Astronauts debut album 'We Are To Answer' is a melting pot of funk, dub reggae, and pure unadulterated hip-hop. Featuring vocal collaborations with Bootie Brown and Imani of legendary hip hop group the Pharcyde, Azeem, Tippa Irie, Bajka, Phat Old Mamas, Ulf Stricker, Raashan Ahmad and Entropik, 'We Are To Answer' is a block rockin' boom-bappin' sonic tour-de-force!
Having already remixed Fort Knox Five, Up Bustle & Out, Ladybug Mecca of Digiable Planets, Zion I, and Dr. Rubberfunk, the duo spent the last year putting their cosmic production skills to use crafting their genre splicing masterpiece debut. The tracks on the album exhibit a melding of old school hip-hop, funk and dub reggae with forward-thinking flair and production technique. The end result is a stunning debut, a genre-defining album.
