The hope, joy, and sexiness of their music remains, but, further honing the edge of their acclaimed 2022 album Electricity, the connection they aim to foster has shifted venues, from the sunny buoyancy of a sunlit festival to a sweat-soaked, all-night dance club. The atmosphere has changed, but you’re still having the time of your life. Williams and Grunhard attribute this shift to a matter of collaborators, recording Pull the Rope with Sheffield-based producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A.) over the course of two weeks. The way the pair wrote songs changed significantly — rather than Eno penning lyrics to music generated by Max and company’s jamming, Orton started with Eno and Max writing together before adding the band. With less time in the studio and a new way of considering how they built songs, the duo found making decisions about Pull the Rope’s sound quicker and more instinctually than before. “Ross is from Sheffield, which has an edgier, more industrial vibe than London,” Grunhard explains. “He hears things differently than us, is more grounded in rave and grungier sounds, and knew when to add drums or push the instrumentation more. It was very different for us, but it lends itself to where Ibibio Sound Machine is going.” In melding their songwriting process, Grunhard and Williams have, impossibly, pulled the trick of making Ibibio Sound Machine a tighter band than ever before, building out from their core in a way that highlights the electrifying group of musicians they play with. Rather than recording with the full band in the room, Pull the Rope was sculpted, elements added and shaped by Grunhard, Williams, and Orton along the way. As a result, Pull the Rope is a nimble, sleek machine that’s thrilling from the first note of the opening title track, Eno’s otherworldly voice and PK Ambrose’s throbbing bass driving through a kaleidoscopic array of house, post-punk, funk, Afrobeat and disco, bangers and ballads, making an argument for unity that begins on the dancefloor. “We are the places we grew up, the places we’ve been, and the people we’ve met along the way,” Williams says. “Hopping around the globe, we’ve found that people are fundamentally the same—they’re people. Opposing sides push and pull, but there is an alternative to war, violence, and suffering.” That belief is the blood that pulses like Grunhard’s hypnotic bass lines throughout Pull the Rope. Lead single “Got to Be Who U Are” literally globetrots, name checking locales across the world that would feel disparate were it not for how well-traveled they are. Eno growing up in the musical melting pot of the Ibibio region of Nigeria and Max being a conservatory-trained musician from Australia, one could call their meeting in London and formation of Ibibio Sound Machine star-crossed. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/huddersfield/ibibio-sound-machine-hannah-rowe-parish-huddersfield/200028410077540 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, parties, festivals, workshops, meetups, live-music, raves - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 40 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Huddersfield - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Parish - **lat**: 53.644631464892 - **long**: -1.7800748757265 - **full address**: Parish, 20 Queen Street, Huddersfield, HD1 2SP, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ibibio Sound Machine + Hannah Rowe @ Parish, Huddersfield - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/5926d1180139f4dc39b4f1d0b590aaefbfcc71e66e30996613d21945a1365b99-rimg-w1200-h628-dc0172ac-gmir?v=1762412025 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ibibio Sound Machine + Hannah Rowe @ Parish, Huddersfield being held? - **A:** Ibibio Sound Machine + Hannah Rowe @ Parish, Huddersfield takes place on Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 11:00 pm at Parish, 20 Queen Street, Huddersfield, HD1 2SP, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ibibio Sound Machine + Hannah Rowe @ Parish, Huddersfield ? - **A:** Ibibio Sound Machine + Hannah Rowe @ Parish, Huddersfield is organized by Parish. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
