Hot (pun inevitable) on the heels of the acclaimed Solar Sheers, Shooglenifty continue their quest to graft original British Isles-influenced instrumental music onto new rhythmic beds, creating a curious and evocative sonic tapestry. With subtle Arabic, Latin, funk, and West African tinges, The Arms Dealer’s Daughter is a more immediate, live-sounding record than its predecessor, yet somehow retains (and even expands on) the textural richness of Sheers.
