Debut LP - 'A Problem' - available on iTunes!!!!
Forming in the fall of 2004 and based in Astoria, Queens, Illimanjaro have built a reputation as a nasty, noisy, three-man onslaught—combining punchy riffs and distorted noise with hard-hitting rap/spoken word vocals. Following the February 2007 release of their well-received debut album ‘A Problem,’ the power trio returned to the studio to record the four-song EP ‘Not Invited.’ Released in February 2008, ‘Not Invited’ captures the edge and electricity of the band’s live sound while infusing a colorful combination of sonic textures, bouncing beats, and thumping bass lines. The frantic guitars and driving backbeat of the opening title track, followed by the alt-rock inspired “No Win Situation” provide a powerful one-two punch to begin the album. Then—in true Illimanjaro fashion—they completely switch gears to the sexy, spacey soul and rapid-fire rhyming of “No Means No”, and the eerily psychedelic “Still”. Together, these four songs highlight perhaps the trio’s greatest attribute: to take risks and always keep the listener guessing.
Illimanjaro pride themselves on their versatility, but not in a sense that they’re out to prove how many different styles of music they can play. They just hold a deep love and appreciation for so many different genres and it feels natural to them to mix and match and see what happens. Illimanjaro see no boundaries, whether in the studio or onstage, and they possess a certain confidence that comes across in their music. As if with every note they’re trying to take over the city, one block at a time.
