Ibifornia is the fourth studio album by French electronic music duo Cassius. It was released on 26 August 2016.
Composition
Cassius were inspired to produce an album with a bright, happy tone by their experiences of listening to the Bob Marley & the Wailers album
Exodus (1977).
[Halls, Eleanor (22 August 2016). "Finally, electronic music that will actually make you want to dance". GQ. Retrieved 31 March 2017.] Their intention with
Ibifornia was to create a "fun electronic music without making it cheesy", due to the abundance of dark and depressing electronic dance music popular at the time.
In coming up with a cheerful vibe for the LP, they decided that it would take place in a fantasy
utopia land named Ibifornia.
Cassius and the press release categorized the style of Ibifornia as a hybrid of funk, house music, soul music, Afrobeat, synthpop, psychedelia, hip hop, gospel music and disco.[Adams, Gregory (20 May 2016).
