A onetime member of the highly regarded Portland, Ore., experimen-tal indie-pop outfit Menomena, Knopf used Intuit ’s creation as an excuse to hang out and play with a mess of musicians and friends — 35 people, all said and done. His decision to use each person in a limited capacity meant that he never felt obligated to pay the talent, either. Prophet , the latest record from the solo-project-turned-band, doesn’t look to take a similar tack. Knopf recently described Prophet as “more of a rapid transit line between my sleeve and my heart” — which means Sensi-tive Vocal Junction, Punchy Synth Lane, and Ambitious Song Structure Avenue should be key stops.

On the band’s second album, Canibalismo , its globetrotting players from Venezuela, Mexico, France, and the U.S. devour sultry grooves that span time and place. Their sound is a hypnotic mash-up of reverb-drenched surf guitar, funky Farfisa organ, trippy Moog synths, tropical percus-sion, and Afro-Latin melodies. It all owes a debt to fellow Brooklyn avant-gardist Marc Ribot’s “fake Cuban” approach in Los Cuba-nos Postizos. Fans of the popular Ethiopiques compilation series of Ethiopian R&B appro-priations from the ’60s and ’70s will also love Chicha Libre’s world-rhythm explorations.
