New ANTIBALAS album: Hourglass

Antibalas releases new single “La Ceiba” from 8th full length album “Hourglass” on Daptone Records 10/24/25

Finally, this album is done and making its way into the world. I will be doing a lot of press for the album so I won’t say too much here other than I am grateful to all the musicians who persevered to make this album come to life and played their hearts out. The musicianship and compositions are among our best yet, and that is saying a lot.

Our first single “La Ceiba” is out now on streaming platforms. The full album drops 10/24/25 on Daptone Records. PREORDER
