No Discount is the second full length album from Brooklyn psychedelic afrobeat band, Zongo Junction !

The music on No Discount, which was produced by Mikey Freedom
Hart (Sinkane, Albert Hammond Jr, Bleachers), embraces the individual members’ interests, from Dirty Projectors to Albert Ayler, Wu Tang to Meshugguh. At its core, you will find the addictive West African grooves that are the foundation of Zongo Junction’s music.

The album was recorded to 24 track, two-inch tape at The Bunker
studio in Brooklyn NY, then disassembled and polished, piece by piece, by producer Mikey Hart, over a year-long mixing process. It was mastered by all-star engineer Brian Lucey (The Black Keys). Featuring swaths of analog electronics, hairpin rhythmic turns, and elaborate statements from a powerhouse 5-piece horn section, the band has become impressively adept at nestling entire sound worlds on top of authentic afrobeat grooves.
