Recognised as one of the most electrifying new acts to emerge from the UK in the 

past year, Baba Ali is the combined force of American performer and musician Baba 

Doherty and British guitarist Nik Balchin.
Following the release of their debut Memory Device in 2021 and 18 months of touring, Baba Ali return with one foot firmly placed on the dance floor, and the other in a state of frenzy. The bold and fiery lead single Burn Me Out from the upcoming sophomore album Laugh Like A Bomb, 

serves as a blueprint for what the duo call their ‘electro punk disco’ sound and was 

premiered by Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music.
Having previously collaborated with Al Doyle (LCD Soundsystem / Hot Chip) on their debut album, this time the duo absconded to Doyle’s studio in his own touring absence and took to production 

duties themselves. Laugh Like A Bomb was recorded in just three weeks before being mixed by Sheffield producer Ross Orton (Working Men's Club / M.I.A. / Yard Act). 

Onstage, Baba Ali is a captivating and seductive presence, transmitting a wall of sound that fills the room with an infectious raw energy and groove that makes standing still impossible.
