There are a few people on the internet who insist - or imply - that Animal Collective, Gang Gang Dance and Vampire Weekend are racist. Or rather that their appropriations of 'world music' are racist - that styles like gamelan, high-life and afro-beat are better left alone by Western musicians. The people that say that are idiots and Rainbow Arabia know it, the married LA duo absorbing influences from all over the world and re-organising them into sick, synesthetic warp-outs of organ parp and hallucinogenic rhythm blister that fly in the face of received notions of 'world music' and 'tasteful' and 'taste'. New 7-track mini-album Kabukimono is out now, featuring remixes from Ghosts On Tape and Brenmar, and it's the sound of Jools Holland shitting himself.

Sounds like: Skream, Omar Souleyman, Blondie
