banabila & machinefabriek: travelog

When Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) finished their first collaborative album, it felt like they were just getting started. Surprised by how fluent and natural their collaboration went, it was obvious that this wasn't over yet. Banabila & Machinefabriek was quite an abstract affair. It's successor, Travelog, is lighter, more playful, and rhythmic. Some moments recall the mighty Tape, while others showcase motorik Krautrock influences and subtle hints of African rhythms. All in all, this album clearly radiates the joy of its creative process and sees Banabila and Machinefabriek on top of their game. Travelog comes housed in a full-color digipak, graced with photography by Michel Banabila, designed by Rutger Zuydervelt. It's released by Tapu Records, in collaboration with Lumberton Trading Company.
