Tomorrow is the third album William Onyeabor made in as many years, so it’s unsurprising that he’s refining his previous ideas here rather than exploring new ones. Onyeabor, who almost singlehandedly invented a novel and prescient form of electronic funk music, came of age in the same 1960s-era turmoil that engulfed postcolonial Nigeria in instability and war as his closest contemporary, the Lagos funk legend Fela Kuti. Both artists directly address violence but even when Onyeabor is singing “Why Go to War,” one of the twin centerpieces of this album (the other is his most well-known track, the epic and uproarious “Fantastic Man”), it’s far from the communal experience Fela tends to construct. Onyeabor’s music is spacious and psychedelic, riding endless grooves on beds of homemade electronic instruments and treated guitars he mostly overdubbed himself. In that sense, he pointed toward a future where the individual floats around a lonely and borderless digital ether, divorced from community institutions. Tomorrow, bookended by the reggae-ish title track and the synthetic soul ballad “Try and Try” has one foot planted on the earth and the other in the cosmos, and it finds plenty of beauty navigating the messy tension in the middle.
