This led to the eventual formation of the group, which recorded its self-titled EP on Ypsilanti Records that same year, after producer Warn Defever dared Bergman to bring as many people as he could to the studio. In 2004 the band (which, with album and live appearance combined, has had over 60 contributors) issued a full-length record of the same name. NOMO's mix of African beats, avant-garde jazz, and funk caught the attention of California's Ubiquity Records, who soon signed them. With a core lineup that included Bergman, Erik Hall (guitar, Nu-Tone cymbals), Jamie Register (bass, vocals), Dan Piccolo (drums), Dan Bennett (baritone sax), Justin Walter (trumpet), Olman Piedra (congas, cajon, shekere), and Ingrid Racine (trumpet), NOMO released New Tones in 2006, Ghost Rock in 2008, and Invisible Cities under a year later

Asking the point of this music is like asking the point of the universe. The point is to exist.

@ploothable sigur ros is not a good example of post-rock, and this does not play off the genre in any of it's forms. this is westernized and jazz drenched afrobeat that likes to play more toward ska than it's roots. p.s, necropost && i recommend tony tete harbor, lokonon andre, and eric akaeze as starting points for adventures into afrobeat. a few comps have been put out in the last decade which almost always have good content, and there's a huge pile of afrobeat/highlife on youtube to dig too!
