Having cut a "post-soundtrack" for the '70s Senegalese film Touki Bouki , the U.K. trio known as Red Snapper lifted some of those elements for their 2014 album Hyena. The results are an ethno-muso mash of African thumb pianos, acid jazz beats, and spaghetti western guitars, and while the first two-thirds flow well enough, these disparate genres seem at odds toward the end of the album, which sounds like a Red Snapper audition tape, displaying all the varied things this talented crew can do.
