Earlier this month, Nigerien rock group Tal National released the explosively poignant, Tree of Ténéré-referencing "Tenere" from their forthcoming sophomore LP Zoy Zoy. Now, the French-speaking collective, whose previous album Kaani was named one of 2013's best by The New York Times, share the title track off Zoy Zoy. Like "Tenere," "Zoy Zoy" is a fast piece of spinning guitars and quick drums, but has a more communal spirit than its predecessor as not only lead vocalist Almeida but many of the band members sing over the ensuing musical riot. Tal National's upcoming Zoy Zoy album is scheduled for release on April 14 via FatCat Records. The Nigerien band are also headed on a North American tour this spring. Full dates, including a performance at Pace University’s Schimmel Center in New York City, can be found below. Listen to Tal National's "Zoy Zoy" over at NPR and revisit their video for "Claire" below.
