The Coup

Huffington Post premiere's "The Magic Clap"


Revolutionary musical collective The Coup will release their new album Sorry To Bother You this October 30th via Anti- Records. The Coup consists of vocalist-writer and activist Boots Riley accompanied by a versatile cadre of musicians. 

Sorry To Bother You is an audacious new work by a visionary band. The tracks merge danceable beats, punk urgency and the astute social commentary of hip-hop to craft a refreshingly unique sound that draws from the past but never sounds anything but futuristic. “I think our albums are always really different than what else is being put out there at the time,” Riley says. “It’s why I think people can listen to the records and not know when they were made and it’s why our audience is constantly evolving.”

Called one of their “10 most influential people” by Vibe Magazine, Riley has also collaborated with Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), New Orleans band Galactic, Atari Teenage Riot and more. He is currently a prominent figure in the Occupy Movement, participating in actions and speaking on racism, capitalism, and grassroots organizing throughout the world.

Sorry To Bother You is the long awaited follow up to The Coup’s critically acclaimed album Pick A Better Weapon, which Mojo described as “Smart, sensual, self-loving and self-critical, pissed-off and hilarious” and moved Billboard to call the band “the best hip-hop act of the last decade.” For their latest, Boots Riley conspired with co-producer and longtime friend Damion Gallegos, intent on creating a radical new sound utilizing unconventional recording techniques and seemingly incongruous musical styles. The result is an exhilarating highly original music that perfectly animates Riley’s provocative and poetic lyrics.
