Asian Dub Foundation have weathered some lineup changes in recent years – most recently the addition of flautist Nathan Lee – but More Signal More Noise finds them as innovative and politically amped as ever. The band describe Lee as “the Jimi Hendrix of flute” and his virtuoso riffing takes centre stage for most of the album, often steering it into Flobots territory, while his bandmates kick popular culture’s apathetic arse with that ragga-bhangra-big beat-punk collision they have down pat. Solid work.
